    There were a few different airbags fitted over the years. Mine is the last one released (momo wheel - by far the best looking airbag wheel):

      What I found interesting is that the model they showed was 2000 - 2002 ralliart edition. I once heard an importer talking about a 2002 model but never thought much of it. I'm guessing they're extremely rare.

      Only reason it won was because of hordes of forum users both here & in th UK voted for it online - as seen here: http://www.ftoaustralia.com/modules.php ... light=vote

      The 2000-2002 thing is because the cars were only legally imported by Ralliart UK from 2000 - 2002. Prior to that it was all grey imports like here. The are no performance modifications just because it has a Ralliart badge on it, its just who they were imported & sold thru in the UK.

      stick with your first thought. that's what he was thinking about :lol:

      hint: when he said, "you certainly do" he meant "you certainly do"

      FTO definetely deserves the used sports car award...long time coming, also they arent too common so maybe this will encourage more ppl to buy...therefore raising the prices ?

      or bring the prices down as there will be more of them on the road.

      anyone seen the resale value of a Magna lately for instance ?

      coincidentally, has anyone noticed how many more of the damn things there are on the road ?

      that's my simple mathematics.
