Default New Ford Falcon XR6 Aggressor Pack

Saw in this months Wheels magazine that the XR6 has a new body kit called the Aggressor Pack. Anyone heard anything about it? Theirs a side on picture in the ad and it looks quite nice.

Anyone found anymore pictures of the front and back?

Was going to post this the other night. I just scanned it so here it is. Anyone have any better pics ?

Looks like Black inserts on front, sides and rear aswell as black inserts in the wheels.

This is becomming a painful long wait until Orion...with cheap stunts like this, Ford are doing anything they can to get them out the door

The biggest concern is the rumour that this kit was based 50% on the Orion XR kit....

Yeah but for the price you cant go wrong, that makes a BF XR6 turbo with luxury pack worth about $35000 second hand. I can see the B series resale is about to take a dive, not bad for a 5 year old model to only be taking a hit now.

I would have to see it in the flesh and in different colours to make a final decision about that. I do like the wheels but as usual, they need to be bigger.

The thing is its cars like these that do hold their value, remember the s3 Rebel's of the AU, they still hold value a hell of a lot better, and these will be the same

I dont mind the wheels and kit, would liek to see rest of the car

Thanks for the pic martO. Is this package only on the XR6T sedan or can you get it on an XR6 or XR8 (sedan/ute)?

Hmm. I can't say I like that much. It might work on a colour like Ego, or maybe one of the brighter colours, but it doesn't seem to work on that car.

those rims are the same as the 18" on the XR8 just with the middle in each spoke painted black its a ford trick of late they did it on the SR territory and on the they painted the inside of the rims for the 40th GT and the old Devil-R and Enforcer XR8

Doesn't look too bad, but I would rather wait until I see it in the flesh before I make up my mind, would probably look better in other colours, I don't know what it will look like on a silhouette painted car though? If you look closer though (a bit hard with that pic, easier to see in the actual ad from the mag) you will notice the XR6 badges forward of the rear wheels looks pretty different from what is usually seen, maybe thats a bit of a pointer to Orion

I reckon the kit looks great, but the problem is that it highlights how OLD the original car is.

I've seen some more pics and, I don't mind it at all, the only problem I have with it, is the black bit on the bottom of the back bumper bar reminds me too much of the back of the VY SS, and I didn't like the black bits on that, just looks cheap and nasty. I do love the black highlights on the 18" rims though

What is it with Ford and dodgy photoshopped or completely CGI promo pictures? They look terrible, the Typhoon R-Spec is an example.
