whilst thats a true fact DJM83, and the AU is the best falcon ford has ever produced, i'd be careful, another mod copped me for the same sort of comment in the b-series version of this thread.

8. Between 98-00 Ford spare parts required written and sighted Tickford VIN confirmation before even a replacement Tickford badge could be ordered, and should have stayed that way. /QUOTE] Quote:

Guys I would like to add item 11 to that.
Au head lights are not symmetrical Did you know that the parking globes on the AU headlamps are both on the left hand side of the main head light globe. I've noticed this for the first time today after owning my AU for 7 years!
