Default Custom black Fairlane G8 With GTP Front
Have a look at this, makes you want one. Way better looking than a Grange

Yeah I see it around a fair bit too... the stripes are overkill on it. The concept is nice though.

Could they actually be the same car? They both have an identical stripe package, even the little zig-zag on the front guard with the FPV sticker incorporated, and the mirrors are chromed on both......

Certainly looks that way. The stripes are almost the same, and I remember the Ford Dealer saying it came from Victoria.

The stripe coming off the lights has a Ford Logo in the one I posted.
The one on Ebay has a FPV logo instead.
Am fairly sure the mirrors are just chrome skins. Easily changed.

Cheers

i though the force 8 was boring till i saw that... Now the force 8 looks classy.

loose the stripes, loose the industrial-air-conditioner-fanblade wheels, loose the bright silver mouth surround and then we'll talk.

Personally I think it is disgusting.



I do like the quad tips (though they do seem to point upward a little) and rear view though... for a Fairlane anyways.



If he ditched the stripes, whacked on GT-P wheels and dumped it I think it would look dramatically better.

i agree,i see a white G220 around home,dumped with 20's and it looks so much better than that one. I think HSV even screwed up the grange, a stato or caprice dumped with big rims looks so much better than one with a body kit, i reckon anyhow.
different though thats for sure.

Would look great without the front bar or stripes. drop it a bit on those wheels, and keep the bulge.. HOT!
