I didn't think XR bumpers were painted on the car either or what I mean to say is that I always thought all bars were painted in the same place.

This isn't the case?

Fair enough, so... WHY DONT THEY PAINT THEM IN THE PRODUCTION LINE.

Just Saying...

EDIT: And by the by, it looks friggen awesome, but I have some reservations on allowing too many people to buy that colour. Perhaps limit it to 1500 cars or something, then change to a different chormax* colour scheme.

I think A deep rich yellow with a vibrant orange would make an EXCELLENT one. Please do it Ford.

*Or whatever it's called.

Good for you. Try and sell a Ford in Sydney right now, irrespective of age/condition/desirability, and you'll change your tune. :

I hear you thats for sure, I felt major pain offloading my AU2XR8.... but Classic GT's get an excemption form this situation, they're still selling for top dollars. 85K for an XYGT, 170K for a Phase 3, 41K for an XAGT, these are just 3 examples of recent sales in NSW.

It looks alright. Can someone tell me why does chameleon paint generally in purple / blue, orange / red and white / red. Could you say go with Blueprint and silver. That would look good. Or what ever colour you want.

I think the colour will get old very fast. Not much of a fan of the purples. Look reasonable when they're clean but they get dirty real fast.

I like it, and it looks like the majority do. But as it's always the case, damned if you do damned if you don't...

The Blueprint and silver suggestion sounds brilliant too.

The lack of orange peel in the paint work suggests Ford did not paint this car. Looks nice, but one chip...............
