I'm happy with my TS with the chrome headlights. Maybe it will increase the value as they wiil become rare.

The only problem is that you'll have to live in America to own one of those 500 per year.

You'll see what I mean when you look inside, I personally think it was a backward step but others may disagree....

You wont get a 2013 plated car on the 2.9% interest rate. There has apparently been a couple purchases rejected because the cars delivered were 2013 complianced but 2012 build.

The LS Focus XR5 Turbo came with chrome headlights too, but they changed that with the LT I believe. The chrome headlights are still super sexy!

ordered mine yesterday in subtle Tangerine Scream. the boat lands late Feb and the car should be ready early March. time is going to go so slow between now and then.

[aratic]

Congrats! Is it a 2012 or 2013 build?

[RSgerry]

i think it is a 2012 build but 2013 compliance. i am not too fussedf as i intend to hold onto this car for a long time. got a great deal from Seaview Ford in Clarkson WA. the dealer i have bought 4 cars from in the past, McInerney in Morley didnt want to know.

[Ranek]

Looks great!

Did you order genuine wheels from the UK or are yours painted also?

[EVL BOS]

Yep had mine painted, they did a great job on the wheels and I'm pretty happy got close to the euro wheel colour

[aratic]

Looks fantastic mate, congrats

The next 60 or so days until mine arrives is going to be the slowest of my life !

[Martyvan]

Mine is due early March, so at a guess, they are on the same boat and it docks in WA first. I emailed the dealer to see if they can tell me the name of the boat as you can track them online. no news yet, but like you, i cant wait. the painted wheels look a million bucks. will look at getting that done when i get the car.

[EVL BOS]

Thanks, those 60 days will fly trust me I been there

Got the wheels done through the dealer before delivery made life heaps easier, they used and company called neway wheels

[WILDB]

Anybody else notice their spoiler mounted brake light filling with moisture when washing the car or parking it in the rain?

[EVL BOS]

Yep noticed on mine today that it has moisture built up in it.

[martinijosh]

Not here, at least for the one situation where it has been wet since you mentioned it. I will keep an eye on it.
