Hey all,
Just need a quick bit of help, I need to know if there is a difference in the design of the climate control unit and dash spear over the 3 series. I ask this because I just got mine off eBay and the display part is darker than the spear. If you could post pictures this would help heaps! Thanks, Mitch

I thought all the T'series had the same finish around the C/C . The only thing that is darker is the screen on the S1 being black backgroung & orange letters.

You bought it from that "marcello" guy on Ebay didnt you!
The raindrops finish (bit on the right) is from T3, I *think* the other bit may be the "urban geometric" finish which was found in T1? Im not sure on that but it might be possible. On a side note, I have never been able to find any company like modicoat etc who can successfully replicate the raindrops finish from Ford.

Throw up the part #'s from the back of the pieces. You should be able to tell from that.

The design on the left looks fake. It's not the same as the T-Series.

A look at the T2 brochure & my garage makes me think it was just a T1 TE thing but you never know with Ford, some may have found its way into the later cars.

Tell you what, If (and that's a big IF) the T-Series cars ever become as collectable as say the X series GT Falcons, it's going to take some keen eyes and knowledge to keep on top of all the changes Ford made to the T-Series over the 3 series just to make sure it's AUthentic. There's sooo many running changes that were standard on one series and optional on another, deleted items and such, it's not going to be very easy.
