cobrav8 Member 1,969 Member For: 20y 27d Gender: Male Location: New Zealand Posted 01/06/09 11:56 PM Share Posted 01/06/09 11:56 PM So what has caused the problem exactly - what percentage of Shockwave cars have the problem? I have not had any issues with mine (2005 BA Mk2 XR6T), but am concerned if it starts happening later, I may not be covered.

(no matter what)good luck Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49022-ba-mkii-shockwave-paint-problems/page/8/#findComment-893666 Share on other sites More sharing options...
