Probably a policy that says, you don't mess with your Ferrari or you can start servicing it yourself.

Never heard that saying before but it's pretty appropriate.

No, unless it has an FPV engine!!

no way its not a fpv at all stick to the xd bages or go with none fpv would kill bages would kill it

1 more vote for no.

I have a mate that bought an ED XR6 with a couple Sprint badges in place of the XR6 ones on the guards. Now he hunted down an XR8 Sprint badge for the boot garnish.

I give him so much shiit for it.

So what's the difference with people putting FPV badges on their XR8's ?.

At least FPV built the engine in BA/F and FG XR8's. XD has absolutely zero to do with FPV.

There's a bunch of old (early 80's) corollas getting around with a 351 cleveland in them. Apparently it's a popular engine to retrofit to these little cars. Several of them are on the burnout circuit.

hahah no it was on an suv, still sounded like a 22r 4 potter

is it a ford built performance vehicle - if he wants it, let him. if it doesn't look good take it off. no matter what anyone does with their car, the fail police will find something to whinge about. you may as well make it easy for them . . . it isn't fair to make them think

Yes but we all know the actuall badge that these people put on the side of their XR8's etc mean "Ford Performance Vehicles", they want to be acknowledged as an actual FPV.

FPVGT500 · 19-10-2011, 09:37 PM

Nothing wrong with FPV decals and badges on BA XR8s as the engine numbers start with FPV anyway.

Auslandau · 19-10-2011, 09:43 PM

Mine has a 351 badge ........ but alas it is a 383. FAIL!!!!!!

HenryFordJr · 19-10-2011, 09:59 PM

Should be illegal, unless he has a Boss or Typhoon engine..

It doesn't matter who you are or where you're from, that's by far the funniest thing said on these forums in years.

The hypocrisy is strong in this thread.

Chev badges on non chev vehicle = bad
FPV badges on non FPV vehicle = OK
FPV badges on non FPV vehicle = bad

Anyone remember that the first FPV's had 'Ford' badges on them???
Better put them in the fail thread since they're not Ford's.

ChrisCE · 20-10-2011, 10:02 AM

Well he wouldn't be the first....

But this example seems to be a very nice unit!

Perhaps this entire thread needs to be linked in the Epic Fails thread?
