Good on you mate, that mean there are still people out there who appreciate the value of a vehicle which had been well take care of & maintain.indyfto wrote: To answer the frequent PMs I've been getting - it sold for more than the asking price...
This is a great example for all FTO owners who do the same for their "love one", we don’t need to lower the price to compensate the sh*t box out there, and sooner or later people will realize the different.

They may well be able to appreciate the car but it would appear they can't appreciate the exclusivity of the tail lights. Looks like they will be up on Ebay very soon much to my disappointment ! So much for me not taking a quick $4K from someone for them, thinking they are best kept on my (at the time) FTO instead of someone elses...
