FPVF6355 Member 128 Member For: 13y 11m 15d Posted 07/08/12 05:35 AM Share Posted 07/08/12 05:35 AM Hi,Not sure about this.I notice alot of BA's BF's typhoons on car sales, that don't have the FPV badge in the bottom left corner of the steering wheel (mine has one)Are these fake FPV's ??I did spot a cheap typhoon a few weeks ago, and then read further on to find it was a mock up from an XR6 T.Or didn't all the models come with this badge on the wheel ??Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as the exterior as well.If it has a build number its geniune, if no build number its a mock up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dre Resident idiot.

If its Euro 3 then it had a ford badge. I looked for badges to fit but only came across stickers that sat on top of the badge (and not very well either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PookeyMaster Donating Members 1,531 Member For: 14y 14d Gender: Male Location: Parramatta, NSW Posted 09/08/12 07:13 AM Share Posted 09/08/12 07:13 AM The Euro specs are emmissions specs. At some point in 2010 (July 1 I think) the Federal government tightened emmissions regulations. A Euro IV car has slightly better emmissions than a Euro III car. It was also the reason the XR8 was dropped. Ford couldn't engineer it to meet the Euro IV requirements.Ford also used the Euro IV to start the FPV build numbers again. Basically, these are all of the FG 'models':FG MkI Euro IIIFG MkI Euro IVFG MkI Upgrade Euro IV (happened late 2010 adding extra standard equipment; while not an official model, all insurance recognise as a 'new' model)FG MkII Euro IV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
