Guest PHNTUM Guests Posted 17/03/03 04:12 AM Share Posted 17/03/03 04:12 AM All the BA models mostly have been painted Flat black...............reasons being is ford Mo Co are cost cutting.Owners only have to look underbonnet to see its flat black.

Until you pointed this out l hadnt even noticed.Shows how important it is to me If it makes the car cheaper to buy then l am happy with flat black. Got to make repairs cheaper too in the unfortunate event of a front end bingle.Of course, if l got the engine bay painted it for nicks as you did then l wouldnt say no Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/1315-phntum-ute-has-arived/#findComment-13620 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mr Walker Guests Posted 17/03/03 06:20 AM Share Posted 17/03/03 06:20 AM Tell me you guys mean matt body colour not flat black! Mine is Phantom in the engine bay etc but yes it's matt as per XR8 Chicks explanation. Has anyone got flat black?
