:

OMG i was soo annoyed to see this on the side of an XR6. the GT badging should be left for not only GT models but V8's as well.

has anyone else seeen any over the top mods before???

GT Stripes are fine if its stripes and no GT decals .......GT6?....?? hell no!

I must be a culprit too by having BA F6 rims on a XL V8, lucky i didn't put the FPV badges on though :P

But I have to admit i did see one car that made me think what the... A BA XR8 with GT stripes and GT badging?

thats pretty much it for the eb xr8. most of the tickford work in the eb was concentrated on the xr6. the xr8 had pretty much the same driveline as a non tickford v8. they got better seats but mine has ghia ones which are the same moulding but trimmed better. they may have got better suspension but mines all aftermarket anyways. the diff in mine is also 3.9lsd so once again better. tickford didn't do a hell of a lot to the 8's until late el's and then started getting half serious by the end of au's and then they changed to fpv.
however all this is going off topic. i feel i've answered your question though.

ok guys i realise that some of you are missing my point

thankyou ozmale42 as you seem to be the only one that got what i was saying.
as i said in my original post i personally dont like the stripe packages on other falcons, but my main point was the GT6 part.

the GT has earned its rightfull place as a high performance V8 car (in the ford world) and as such i believe that having GT6 on the side of a 6cyl is just plain wrong

-GT rear spoilers on non FPV-models
-XR8/GT bonnets on XR6Ts
-Cobra wannabes

All combine still cant beat a white VY Commodore Executive with... a cannon.

lol yes i have seen a few of those

I see a lot of EA-ED Fairmonts where the owner has decided to stick a Ghia badge or 2 on them. I can't say I'm a fan of that. Leave the Ghia badges to the Ghias.

Flames are nice on hot rods....... not on standard VR's!

Yes this young bloke bypassed getting rims or lowering or maybe even an exhaust, and thought 'how could i really look like a tool with what money i have'?

Answer.......

Yes those flames are on the bonnet and side windows

Auslandau · 30-01-2008, 08:48 PM

How many Falcon 500 XY 6 packs have GT stripes and badging? At a guess I would say 5 times more than there was ever GT's. I wouldnt even look twice if it was a 6 with GT badges and stripes. Buy your car and have some fun! Dont be so precious about the term GT. It is so generic in the world of cars that I can hardley think of a model that hasnt used it from 4 cylinders to V12's!

I have a 351 badge on the Landau which is actually a 383. Is this the opposite of rice?

that looks quite decent, remeber cars cost money, not all of us can afford to go out and buy every thing in one go.

Nikked · 31-01-2008, 07:51 PM

[Tonko] · 31-01-2008, 09:32 PM
