Default Customized EF!

ok I was down at Newcastle pro-sound (my local hang out with the mates) and I seen an ef Futura with an AU XR8 front... It looked amazing even though the car was bronze(the EF bit) and the front (the AU bit) was white it would look so good when painted....And it was actaully all flush no bits sticking out etc... I know people have put EF fronts of XF utes and sedans but i haven't seen this befor anyone else seen somthing like this?

The XF ute with the EF front is like that from the factory. It's called the XH! It's because Ford were to pov to invest in a proper e-series ute, they kept going with the old XD body, but modernised it with the EF front.

I have seen an XD with a BA front in a magazine. It looks absolutely shocking. Doesn't look right at all.

Why you would you put an AU front on an EF is beyond me!

But whatever floats your boat......

Could be worse. They could put an AU1 Forte front on it instead of the XR version! :Reverend:
