Hey fellow AUvians,
I'm trying to find out if Tickford only offered certain MOMO wheel/gear knob combinations on certain colours, or if it was open slather as to what you could option (on AU 1/2/3 XR6 and 8) Also, irrespective of what Tickford optioned are there combinations that were shunned/frowned upon? I found a thread on FF (via Google) but I couldn't thread mine it so I've started this fresh one. In the old thread b2tf stated that: Quote:
From what I've seen over the years (on manual models): Black - red steering wheel and red gear knob Narooma Blue - blue steering wheel and blue gear knob Liquid Silver - blue steering wheel and blue gear knob White - red steering wheel and red gear knob Blueprint - blue steering wheel and blue gear knob Meteorite Grey - blue steering wheel and blue gear knob Green - red steering wheel and red gear knob Venom Red - red/blue steering wheel and red/blue gear knob Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I have a Silhouette T2 with red inserts & coulson headrests, 2 Blueprint T3's - one with blue inserts & the other plain black if that helps.

I was under the impression that the red Wheels were series one xr8 and blue was for s2 and s3 xr8 only. I've seen loads of cars and that's the only pattern I have seen.

Thanks for your responses guys...it's starting to seem like red steering wheels were restricted to series 1 XRs (and the T3s?) but this again raises the question of which interior bits with which ducos. Unless as stated, the combos were whatever the dealers felt like/customers requested.
I think a red wheel will go quite nicely in my liquid silver XR8...but how 'wrong' will this be? |

It had to do with the interior colour and series.
AU 1's had red wheels across the board AU 2 & 3 XR's had metallic blue/black AU 2 & 3 Fairmont, fairmont ghia, fairmont ghia had black/woodgrain as an option AU 2 Fairmont ghia 75th and Fairlane Sportsman had black/woodgrain as standard AU 1 & 2 LTD had white/woodgrain as standard AU 1 T's had black/grey with the charcoal interior. AU 2 & 3 T's had: Black/grey with charcoal interior Black/red with charcoal and red inserts Black/wild blue with charcoal and blue inserts. |

The factory fitted ones were in set combinations but dealers could order the parts individually and fit whatever they liked.
