It just looks like its all over the place... while some parts are a win on their own.... The bonnet would be a win but the stickers make it a fail as they are the wrong colour... Then there is the FG bar... Sorry doesnt work on a BA.... There are lots of XT owners that are doing GT/F6 kits on there cars and by all means if done right looks great... I like the XR look myself (yeah I have a GT bar) but still looking at finding an XR bar when one comes up cheap....

Here's a couple of pics I took while unloading at a servo in Melbourne a couple of months ago. As soon as I saw this car, I thought of this thread.
I’ve disguised the owner’s identify for his own protection, lol.

Spotted twice in Newtown and once Leichardt
I've seen this car in Newtown. He parked, and then proceeded to get his little dog (large rat) out of the car, festooned in Wests memorabilia, including Harness, Lead and Collar. The nutter himself was also wearing Balmain memorabilia.

I wanted to get a photo, but my other half was a little worried that the owner might not like me giggling to myself as I was wrangling with my iPhone.

it also goes the other way. so many of us here are quick to point out holden are not australian, but when a commode dore owners proves it, by putting a bowtie on this car, we all laugh at him

Saw this r-tard turning on to Hampstead Rd the other day. Hope to God it's no-one here. For some reason he sat looking at the turn light for 3 cycles, and then reversed back. Yet when we got the next turn light he left the car in reverse and pressed the accelerator. Yes, that's right. This superstar tried going forward in reverse!



Personally I've never heard of a Ford Falcon Forte S-pack, but maybe someone here has?
