redman Member 95 Member For: 16y 10m 1d Posted 11/03/08 09:57 AM Share Posted 11/03/08 09:57 AM Good luck R Spec. You will wait a long time from Ford.Because I'm a Falcon nut, as with all my F6s, I tried to buy a BF Falcon badge to put on the boot above the FPV one today. Over here in WA WA land none available for a week You can badge them any way you want but they are really only sooped taxis, although at least the soop is good (mine broke traction under WOT and went sideways at 120 kph today, near crapped myself). I came to the taxi conclusion when I saw the front wheel movement under hard braking from the crap standard XT fluid filled lower control arm bushes they fitted into the F6s, not to mention the pathetic diff bushes, even weaker in the BF than the BA, and the pissy sway bars and the crap brakes in the non $6K Brembo optioned BAs. I take it that your not happy then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job there FPV. Thanks for the insight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All easily fixed.........spend 15k on the purchase price of an F6 and there is nothing that comes close for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 'meant' to be badged FPV rather then Ford... Edited 14/04/08 06:56 AM by smicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XF Falcon <put funny sh*t here> Member 3,365 Member For: 18y 17d Gender: Male Location: Perth, NOR Posted 14/04/08 06:58 AM Share Posted 14/04/08 06:58 AM We're all assuming that the size of the new FPV badges are the same size as the Ford ones...Plus knowing the way car manufacturers operate.... they will have different tabs and crap sticking out the back which will only fit into the new FG models. This could be easily cut/modified though if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
