good pickup Kenay....
I woulda loved a lane but nothing around when I bought mine..... EGO would look nice...... and all those lovely options you have..... 500k is nothing... Thats actually low for a cab.... I had 850k on my AU when I sold that.. Original motor too (matching numbers). My current BA has unknown Kays due to the XR Cluster but thats showing almost 500k too now... Mine was a factory Taxi Pack so came from the factory Yellow but that has recently changed

Ah fair enough yeah I was just saying the bfmk2 fronts look s**t in my opinion.
never really noticed the chrome under the headlights, I'll have to ask google.  500k isn't the end of the world, it aint a commowhore,
