I'm pretty sure there is no getting aroung cutting the rear apron and I'm sure I will shed a tear, I's just like to see how it looks.

If it's the same as the XR6 Turbo's they cut the little centre thing out of the rear apron.

I have seen one done and it looked pretty neat but just not for me.Big AL Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/33331-bf-ii-typhoon/#findComment-509700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
