This is why I'm having my wheels Opti-Coated too - can pretty much just hose the dust away.
Exactly what I did, I highly highly recommend it

My window sticker has:
19X9Fr/19X9.5Rr- Fg Al Prm Pt

I'm guessing this must mean the nickel-finish (only 3 (including mine) of the 13 cars on the Faust destined for Fremantle have this code - the rest have "Alum Prm Pntd".

I'm really not sure I want the nickel-finish....
Interesting! My car is also 1 of the 13 bound for Freo.

My window sticker states: .19 Ebony Black Aluminum Whl
ETIS shows up as: 19x9Fr/19x9.5Rr Alum-Prm Pntd

Ah, so yours is the other Deep Impact Blue GT Fastback! (There's also a Deep Impact Blue GT convertible.) We'll be able to pick ours apart because mine (sadly) has the nickel finish wheels, and yours has the black. I plan to go down to Fremantle and try and film them being offloaded.

Nope, didn't order them nor pay the extra $500
I'd heard of some early builds arriving with the wrong wheels, thought they would have sorted it by now.

Either way, your dealer will have to sort it for you if it does turn up with them.

It is there too, under OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT/OTHER as:

.19 PREM PAINTED ALUM WHEEL
On checking my wheels, I noticed down the list
Centre Hub Orn - Horse And Bar
Wonder what this is?

I'm just guessing here but it could just be that silver Mustang badge on the passenger side's glovebox...

Im assuming the centre cap on the wheels. Just to throw another idea out there.

Yeah, I thought that later too. Wonder if anyone out there that has their pony already would confirm?

Yep, I was also planning on heading down to docks, it could be tricky since it's a Monday though. I noticed you have 2nd of April down as delivery was this a fixed date confirmed by your dealer?

I'm a recent victim of the mining crash and so am classified as retired, so Monday's not a problem :). Is your VIN 1FA6P8CF9G5248240 ?

April 2 was what the dealer last told me, but I put little value on anything they say (the date is there to show how silly the whole saga is)

Sorry to hear that, there's so many people losing there jobs in WA lately :doh: Seems everywhere is scaling back. Hopefully it wont be too much longer before things start picking up...

Yep thats my beast of a VIN!. Depending on what time the boat arrives i may head down for a look see but we'll see closer to the day... Looking on the shipping manifest there are 11 GT's and 2 Eco's.

You could still be on for a 2nd of April delivery but that could be pushing it given its just after the easter hol's. We should find out in the next couple of weeks, not long to go now :D
