Talking New Scuff Plates!
Just installed the BA scuff plates before and think they look awesome! I wasn't sure whether to get custom inserts sayin "XR6" or genuine ones, so i went with the geniune "XR" inserts and think they look pretty sweet.

So, no breaking the clips off them this time

Na, they look good mate. Keep them as the XR badge. The XR6 will look a bit try hardish

Cheers

Not too sure man you would have to ring the spare parts section at ford and ask them if they are the same thing.

You guys wouldnt have the ford part #s by any chance?

Also fitting them i read somewhere that the end 2 screws fir but there is something with the middle one whats the deal with that is it just a clip and you remove the old plug from the AU and it clips in rather than screws or is my brain screwed??


Cheers gy=uys just wanna get some before the inserts come :
