I like the Carbon fibre look on the blueprint with the black wheels. Looks almost as tough as mine. :hihi:

Your right, it does look stupidly small, I don't know what happened as it was heaps bigger when I posted. Try this one. :evilking: :evilking:

Nice. I do loved the look of your ute. Apart from Falkeens and Sylox ute, I would have to say yours is one of my favourites on this forums

I just purchased my XR8 from the dealer but demanded he remove and replace the stripes on the rear doors, it had "FPV" etched into the stripes.
I think I can live with stripes on my car but not GT, GT-P or FPV written in them.

Got a friend how put the stripes on his XR8 ute, but had the FPV bird placed where the GTP was, and reversed it for the other side so that the bird always fly's forward when he is in a forward gear.

For my Bluepint XR8 will get "BOSS" in black and "260" in orange. Don't like the sticker

Melon466, I do believe your correct. Knew the rightfull owner would show up. My son found the pic and sent it to me with the words, "dad, you gotta get like this".

"...looks ok don't ya reckon", Mate I reckon it looks great, well done. I need to find someone in Sydney who does this and see what matches blueprint the best.

On a related issue, having a look through eBay and this is what I found. Someone is selling A TE50 and a TS50 ID plate that was put on the cars from factory. I dont have a problem with people making their car into a Tickford or FPV just dont badge them as one. That is my opinion.

Here are the links:

TE50: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TE50-VIN-ID-T...QQcmdZViewItem

Theres no need for stripes on non GT's so many people think there is but theres not..... like people putting Tickford badges on stock falcons or BA XT owners putn FPV badges its not on and it shows the owners are GIMPS....... thats my 2 cents

djjase · 02-02-2006, 05:12 PM

Why has it become a concern ? people who can't afford the real thing will always copy one. It has been happening for years, I bet a lot of the XY GT"s out there are replica's. I have an XA GT Replica and at the end of the day, it's worth a mint, even though it's only a fairmont with GT badges etc. I can't justify the hefty prices for a real XA GT. Mine just doesnt have the JG33 tags. If it ad's value to your car, then go for it. Although at the moment I wouldnt do it to my XR6T.

We have been going around and around these personal prerogative questions for nealry 4 years now :(

I am not trying to belittle the new users but we have rehashed these topics to death :gren:

Last Saturday in Bendigo at the car wash I seen some dick with a BA Futura and under the number plate he had stuck an XR6 badge

:

Im not too concerned about stickers and stripes it's more badges tickford etc, futura/fairmonts etc weren't GIVEN wings to fly

qwigybo · 03-02-2006, 05:23 AM

i think the stripes on anything look ghey but thats just my opinion. although that boss 260 image BA_BOSS posted looks alright just those full length ones just don't do it for me

Bit rich I think coming from someone that has FPV badges on his XR6T.

Duffman · 04-02-2006, 05:21 PM

Iv got the ts50 kit and all and was thinking of getting some ts50 badges to copy. Like have them look the same but say something like ft40 for (ford turbo 4.0lt) would that be gay? Of course id only bother if I did put a turbo on it.

divine_afg · 06-02-2006, 10:35 PM

well my cars got bonnet bulge with stickers but to keep things unique it neither has the same sticker as the boss290 nor the same bulge "Custom Individuality" is the word i describe my cars looks as....................... every one loves their ride so RESPECT to all the FORDS !!!
cheers

SunDrifter · 17-02-2006, 04:25 PM

all that customizing, and no colour coded rub strips... Those flutes look good, probably would be better if they ran parallel with the front wheel arch. Nice work nonetheless.

djjase · 17-02-2006, 05:48 PM

Hey divine, good to see some adding their own indivuality. Where did you get those vents on the guards ? They would be good to put on the Turbo and vent some of that hot air out of the engine bay

divine_afg · 17-02-2006, 11:38 PM

thanx guys.... opionions and comments are much appreciated..........
well my car is getting repainted soon so colour coding is not out of the things to do list...
The Guards were done by Extreme Kits in Melb........... & its difinitly good for turbo cars..........

cheers

AMT · 01-03-2006, 07:24 PM

They all look crapy with stripes...!!!

BPXR6T · 12-04-2006, 06:24 PM

Stripes on a BA-BF GTs look tops. But only the white/blue stripe and black/white stripe combos. Wouldn't do it on anything other than a GT.

Van D · 15-04-2006, 04:18 PM

BA's are allready rice buckets. Whats one more sticker going to hurt?
