Greetings,
A mate is looking at buying a cobalt blue ED XR6 ex pace car that is in very good nick, and under 100 000k's. Are these worth any more then a run of the Mill ED XR? Ta Cam

Oh maybe a little, but not much.
Are they the ones with the big body kit and racing seats? Recaros?...

Yeah I reakon its worth 6 if its a T5, you can always colour code the light blue bits, change the rear garnish and blast back the rims.
Are the EB GT rims or Moffat ones? Any pics of the interior? Then again, if you change it to much then it just becomes a normal XR6; which isn't bad but yeah. I assume the build plates are the same as normal XR6's?

Get rid of the spoiler, colour code everything and get rid of the rims and put some black stockies or the same rims but proper colour and that would be a hot car.

I have a feeling they are the moffat rims, but someone correct me if iam wrong.. And yeah its a T5
No idea about the build plates, as i stated a mate is buying it up north so i might get him to look and get a few more pics.. Personally i would prefer a stock XR, but hey it aint my dosh :P I believe its also got a bigger cam, head work, zorst etc done as well.. So i guess if you like the looks of it then it'd be worth 6k, especially with 100k's on it and always being garaged. Cam

Since those rims are rare, definately get the paint stripped off them. Don't get rid of them. The Moffat rims that are on that car are like EB GT ones except they don't have the gold tinge, and have a larger centrecap that covers the wheelnuts. It certainly has potential.

Wasnt this car on ebay or some other internet car sales?
It all looks good except for the light blue bits. Colour code all the light blue bits, get a black boot garnish and get the wheels looking mint again in silver, then this car will be hot as!

Definitely keep those rims, except return them to a normal silver or maybe white if he likes. And colour code - the light blue looks pox.
