Or maybe try some aftermarket websites where you might find some flash ones. Anyways good luck mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

($300)and$320 for the rear.. I went and bought $25 worth from an Auto store instead.. Crazy I tells ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely one of the ford employees on here will help you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of the biggest rorts ive heard ford try and pull. That sort of cash for a bit of plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
