Default Re: A Badge Engineered XR8?

Funny Luke that you bring this up. When I was looking at a GS ute when they first came out this is exactly what I was looking to do. Take the FPV badges off, throw the Ford badges on, and replace the rims with XR8 18" alloys (as I really like them). Yes I know that the 18's would have trouble potentially getting the power down, but this was going to be a sleeper. The only thing that stopped me is the replacement costs of the seats etc and the realisation that supercharging my BA was probably easier. Just now have to convince the boss about option 2.
