Looks awesome and im sold. Nearly enough to make me trade in my BFT, which is only 14months old.

Some real competition for Expensive Daewoo now.

Consider this personalized plate for a FG GT. You only have to add an A and an O.

Which rims are the 18's? is it the snowflake ones? or the 5 spoke as per the yellow XR8?

The wheels on the yellow XR8 are the optional 19's. Both the XR6T and XR8 will come standard with 18 inch wheels, same design as the Focus XR5.

Check the Ford website, all the cars are on there and all the specs are there too with options and colours etc.

I thought this part was interesting:

Editing the software to increase boost:

The BF introduced a flag in the ECU which is tripped when any calibration has been over-written. This means that despite efforts to reflash the “standard” tune back to the ECU before servicing the car, Ford can tell that at some stage the ECU was reflashed. This will then void aspects of the warrantee related to the impacts of reflahsing the ECU (ie engine, potentially powertrain etc).

This flag is also present in the G series, so it is important that people editing/flashing the ECU know that they are voiding parts of their warrantee - and that even if Ford dont say anything to you, it is very likely if you ruin a relevant part of the car and try to claim it on warrantee that you will be (rightfully) declined at that stage.

No additional protections to stop flashing the ECU have been introduced - but people should be aware of the possible consequences and lack of warrantee support if something goes wrong.

Fair enough. if you increase the power 50% and it breaks that's the risk you take. As long as they haven't made it harder to edit that's all we can ask for.
