That colour in sunlight looks like a strange mix of blue and faded purple, the sort of colour you would imagine your grandmother choosing.l need a pic in sunlight.

So you are STILL in a loaner? Did you ever get anywhere with the changeover to a GT, or were Ford not playing the game at all?

P.S Ford is normally found in Victoria, but other infestations may appear elsewhere in this country and even New Zealand! They haven't officially replied to any written or verbal request or comment.I guess that is their right......Basically my car is still under repair, and I've been driving this BA Ghia since March the 3rd, with no end currently in sight.I will hand them another letter on Tuesday with my proposal in writing this time, hopefully they will choose to reply this time.I would like to think that I won't get the same "kind" of car twice in a row, but the lure of a GT may just be too much!

The Ghia must feel like its yours now Good choice on GT colour, white with stripes would also have to be right up there if l was to do it again.Cheers Simon Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9969-envi-in-the-wild/page/8/#findComment-114880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jteale Guests Posted 29/04/04 11:37 AM Share Posted 29/04/04 11:37 AM I just ordered an Envi XR6T after seeing one in the flesh ... I like Blueprint but since it is now not available I was torn on a choice but after seeing an XR6 Ute and Sedan in Envi I was hooked ... At least it is something different as Blueprint XR's are dime a dozen ... Just glad to get a T Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/9969-envi-in-the-wild/page/8/#findComment-116608 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeke zeke Member 792 Member For: 21y 10m 10d Location: Adelaide Posted 30/04/04 02:21 AM Share Posted 30/04/04 02:21 AM Jteale, congrats for going with the colour you like and not being swayed by majority opinion.One thing I've noticed about Ford metallic colours is that the metallic particles in the paint appear larger than on most other cars. This seems to give a coarser texture to the colour finish and makes it more reactive to different light - sunlight vs shade etc. Anyone else noticed this or am I imagining things?
