I presume so because the packet had our sido number on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a rule, lock nuts dont come with the car, but you will find the majority of dealers will put them on as soon as the car is delivered from the Melbourne factory. The XR 17in wheel is very "hot" at the moment, we have had 4 or 5 sets go walking.....Not sure about the unlocker! All the ones I have had through spares have been different, but I guess there would have to be a few sets identical somewhere out there.....

As for the high prices on GT parts that's just to keep people from buying them and putting them on lesser models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will get not only a lower price, but also a higher quality pedal set if you look at various aftermarket alternatives.Most aftermarket sets can be adapted to pretty much any car.

Ummm, doubt it!Have you seen the size of the brake pedal on the Auto? It is signifigantly biiger than the average brake pedal. The FPV pedal set is extremely high quality, and legal too.

Its a bit simple to say "the auto has a big pedal so probably no aftermarket one can be found". And sorry....I drive real cars...ie manuals.Cant for the life of me thing why someone would bother with non-standard pedals on an auto... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont remember saying "the auto has a big pedal so no aftermarket will be found" just said you will have a lot of trouble...doesnt matter anyway, I drive a auto, so in your masterful eyes it must be just a matchbox car.
