How much for a set of rear XR8 rims?

Cheers Mick

I don't know for sure, but looking last night it seemed like a new spoiler rather than a carry over.

More than a $1.00

I know the exhibition of artwork that was there will be there over the weekend but not sure about the cars.

Thank you Dalonian

Those sketches of the coupe made me cry . So good

Hopefully we get to see the sketches of the fpv range

So what's the transmission backup plan you are alluding to callum?

you get a rolling shell with a hole cut in the floor so you can "Flintstone" it.

Ford Australia's facebook page have nothing about last nights reveal - just pathetic

[GTP534]

I see it's got Dunlops fitted.

Weren't they supposed to have Michelins?

My mate must be high, he thinks VF is more aggresive looking from the front

Tell your mate: FGX (Shark) > VF (Octopus)

Haha nice one. I actually said FGX (Mustang/Fusion) vs VF (Epica/Malibu)

[EASYBOSS]

Some one has to say it, it just needs a bigger rear wing and some GT Badges, ha ha, it will happen

No not this time.................Ford have this time gone for plenty of its grass roots Performance Arm pre FPV styling cues with the new XR Falcons.............although this approach seems strangely too low key to some imo the big a&$e rice FPV spoiler would look totally wrong on that sexy rear end.

I meant someone doing it after purchase, no Ford doing it, how many more GTHO's are there getting around that are not genuine, I'm just saying, that's all

[joeyy17]

Only could wish for a coupe version, would look amazing on the streets! But that definitely isn't gonna happen. Sedan looks good

[davenl5l]

surprised no one has mentioned the turbo badge as we all thought the xr6t would not have one

[LooLoo18]

Went and had a look today they only had the blue XR8 there
The rear of the car is the winner for me it looks so nice and has a classy look to it the front on the other hand was a bit of a let down couldnt put my finger on as to why but i think the grill is so big that the plastic insert is massive and a bit of an overload in black plastic. Might look better in the G6E I think the rear would match better also in the G6E
Then I sat in it like someone on here said if your not in an FG now you will love it but for me it was just the same old FG
Had a play with Sync a nice bit of tech so thats a plus
Opened the bonnet and there it was the big 335 what a motor
If I was to get one of these I would have my mates over pop the bonnet and drink cans and just look at that motor

Would have to be less than the asking price FPV were charging for the 19x9" rears. It's now a standard Ford part!

[SensationFG8]

Replace the grill with an FPV style metal one with the XR8 symbol in it. That would look hot.

[EVL BOS]

Went and checked out the exhibit today. Must say the xr8 looks tough if I was in a position to buy one I would in a heartbeat! Even the interior is nice those few changes have made a big difference of the FG, it's still familiar but also different enough for me.

[block58]

double post

[block58]

Some more photos from the gallery.

Like most people have been saying, this thing really looks a lot better in person.

[Polyal]

Im really loving the XR6T. If they are going to have issues with the XR8 they should have made them manual only, would of added a little more cred to it too.

[fgpsi]

Matte finish plastic spears? Very cheap

No gloss like FG. Must be completely broke

[SensationFG8]

So the mirrors are actually grey...

I think I'd paint those black.

[FPV8U]

For those that have sat in the FGX is the seat position unchanged?
