Hmm, havent seen anything for them yet. Lots of XR4 bus stop advertising though (there used to be a lot of XR5T advertising like this too).

Hey Ally, is your laser a purple sedan. If so I saw your car on the M1 near wet and wild a few months back.

They have one inside the Monash Uni (Caulfield Campus) of the XR4. Pretty neat and another right outside the campus in the bus stops. Nice placement I reckon.

HAHAH youve got to be joking right!... Your idea.. golly.. i cant stop laughing.

the XR badge as you may or may NOT now has been around FOR yonks before the pittyfull LASER.

its been used in the UK for Escort XR3 and so one and so forth.. The fact that you think it has anything to do with your laser is extremely hilarious.

Have a look at this link Bud... im sure youll find out LASER is a fair way off the mark of the Build of the Seirra XR4i http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Sierra
