Howdy FeFcrs, have been in hiatus for a bit as went to the dark side for a while. Have just sold my Eh ute to a fella in Tassie as am buying back my Fc ute that I used at my wedding in 2008, and will be back with me in a couple of weeks! Anyway to cut the story a bit shorter I was trawlin ebay on Sunday 18th Feb and saw Grille Badge through Rare spares Brisbane South. Figured I would wait till Monday and ring em and make it mine. Bugga sold that night. They suggested I ring all stores in Oz as it is a discontinued item. There are none in Qld, Inserts only in NSW, Inserts only in SA and I got one complete in Roxburgh Park in Vic that was the last one. Paid $338 for it plus postage which was more than one in Qld at about $307 plus postage. The guys in Brissy said the one they had in stock they had had since July and were difficult to shift. Quality of the one I received is great and a lot cheaper than an original. Currently an original on ebay at $585 and counting, but is NOS. Inserts are about $140, but dunno if any complete ones left. Good Luck

Another original one on ebay, has a buy it now of $650, starting at $500. Mine might not be original but looks the part. All I need now is an FC to fit to it!

My dilemma would be, 1. keep it in the box as a NOS - after all that's why it cost that much - or 2.put it on my car where it should be and enjoy it in all its glory?

Option 1. I don't think I could even let it out in the daylight at AU$1,225.00.

Here's another one on Ebay, though I don't think it is in such pristine condition - and no box?
