when you get it check the trim code on the build plate under the bonnet.
I think whats most probably happened is the dealer, or previous owner has changed it from grey to black to probably offload it a bit quicker by making it more appealing perhaps?

I want my AU already:P

You can buy the seat covers that are on AU XRs. The "leather" bit. Just pull your old fabric off and get a trimmer to fit the new stuff for you - instant leather seat Ford spec.

Agreed. My XR has no Tickford badges on it. My XR fronted Forte wagon has one XR badge on it.

Change the centre console with a black from the an XLS ute to match the rest of the dash if you can.

Nice and clean for that price.

get rid of the XR6 badges ... cos it really isn't.

Lower it though ... it needs it.

But all in all ... a nice upgrade.

Nice AU!

Are you going to replace the centre part of the dash to match the rest of the "blackness"?

And leather up those seats! :P

Nice ride. I like the colour. Why not put some white Cobra stripes over the top. Similar to the Mustang in my avatar. Would look hot I reckon. Maybe some darker rims would make it meaner too. Personally I like S1 XR's without bodykit and bi plane. Spend your dough on performance mods instead.

nah i dont really think the cobra stripes would suit it, would probably look a little weird

yeah ofcourse, just got some nice standard issue plates on friday, but i wonna change the numbers so they spell something, will ask vicroads if i can get the other plate

but otherwise the au is going great, much more smoother, more power and altogether a better car then the old ED

i am still deciding wether i can afford to keep the EA to work on aswell but probably will

Yes I can see that, but my AU has the black interior as well, but has black cloth on the seats. The grey looks really outta place.
