Wow. That looks fantastic. Those GTP 19's really suit your. First glance I thought it was a real T3. The height is perfect.
Looks like when you ordered it you got a few nice factory fited options. When you say after market kit fitted by ford, is it genuine or Glass?

That does look great. It just needs the T-Series style front lights.

Thanx guys, yes the kit is glass but its very good quality....
She will scrape if in not really carefull, but its ok i guess....Looks like a good height but the tyres have pulled out the front guards a few times...No damage tho, just bent it back up...Need to get them rolled... Yeah i want the front lights too but cant seem to find any, will post up interior pics soon.. Thanx again Jason

Looks good but I dont see how the dash could possibly be factory fitted. They did that at Tickford and if yours isnt a Tickford optioned car it would have never gone there.

When you say Factory fitted, I assume you mean dealer fitted at a Ford dealer? I cannot see the Ford factory fitting an aftermarket fibreglass bodykit.
Nice looking car though, and with the S/C it should go nearly as well as a TE, though without the prestige and "aura" surrounding a real TE.

Yes it is a tickford optioned car, i have the certificate aswell... Yes sorry guys the body kit was dealer fitted....
It rides great but sometimes its a bit rough, depends what the roads like i guess. I got the rims and tyres for around $3500 from memory.

Looks good. All you need to do is change the bit above the number plate to a S1 & it would look like the real deal.

I agree with Glenn, it's one thing to put Tickford badges on the car (which should be higher on the boot), but to put the TE50 badge on the boot is a bit cheeky. I'm not a fan of the Altezza lights either, but to each their own. The kit, the colour and the wheels look sensational. As for the headlights, you can do it yourself or get it done (eg. The Dok in Melbourne), rather than trying to find genuine T3 headlights.
I'm keen to see some shots of your factory fitted TE dash / interior too... edit. Just saw your post about the badges. |

Some dealers add their own decals on cars and fit extras and sell them like that.
I know Bayford in Preston had a run of AuIII cars that thay fitted rims to and some decals and called them an AU Venom, But I don't think a dealer would put Tickford wings on a car or a TE40 badge. That would upset a few people at Tickford I think and the dealer would get into trouble. Regarding the dash and seats, I thought the XR bash and seats are the same as the TE50. The TS50 dash is the white one which is different to the XR dash.

please do post pics of it, im very keen to see this "certificate". But I can absolutely guarantee you that no Tickford vehicle ever got one - I have an XR8 with a fair few options ticked, and there is nothing to identify it as a Tickford vehicle other than the badges and the build plate in the engine bay.
