That's my feeling after just on 1 month's driving around. If it's true that the suspension is the same as in the BA, then I reckon Ford have subtley raised the underside of the front bumper as part of their redesign of it - maybe by a small amount just so that when you go over speed humps or a particular driveway I have in mind, so that it does not scrape! That's good in my books. I really hated scraping the underside of the front bumper. Of course, it might have something to do with my previous BA suspension being a little worn out or maybe I'm inflating my new tyres higher I'm really going to have to buy some felt or some other dark non-reflective material and place in the floor of my dash readout because it just is starting to get dangerous now in trying to read the dash meters when there is strong sunlight reflecting off the floor of the dash onto the clear plastic window of the dash (like the HUD you don't want )Got my first stone chip on the bonnet I'm going to sus out that 3M Thick Clear Film real soon that Cro mentioned.

I reckon the fabric print in the BF looks more like a snake skin pattern and if anything the BA looked more like a tyre print. I had a look and liked the new front bumper but hated the new fabric print. That combined with the awsome deals they were doing on runout BA's made it a fairley easy decision.

It feels like it is staying in the lower gears longer when I've got it in auto Performance mode as evidenced by the higher rpm whilst driving around town. Could be a product of my running-in regime of driving around in manual Sports Sequential mode and keeping the car on boost above 2000rpm.

That's interesting that it adds 100 to the base score Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20912-bf-feedback/page/5/#findComment-325541 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the alloys are still shiny as ever. Clean the XR6T once a week and no black powdery brake residue in sight!
