100% Territory

[XR Martin]

It has to be an SUV of some sort, the front guards are too tall for a sedan/wagon

[huggiebear]

yeah wheel arch style, the height of the panel and the door handles. and the clips on the bottom of the door for the pods that sit down the side.

What do you mean by 'smooth doors'? All the cars that you listed feature 'smooth doors'. If you mean frameless windows, then none of them feature this, for good reason. With frameless windows on a four-door sedan, you are not able to wind the rear window down fully. They make more sense on vehicles such as the Falcon Hardtop/Landau, which had much smaller rear windows.
In my view, pull handles are a regression design wise. I much prefer the look of traditional door handles, although everyone's tastes differ.

In my opinion, the EF is the best looking Falcon car since the classic XC. As well as this, the EF's straight six and RWD instantly dates the FWD V6 Magna.

I think the OP meant the EF featured that ugly EA 'groove' (the bit where the plastic door side mould is stuck on to) almost along the middle of the doors that looked like it had been done by a giant chisel. Magna had a simple crease angled along the doors, sort of like the FG

You can see straight away its a territory, just the overall shape of it, and the belt line, size of tyre, colour etc

Yeah. Here's another wrecked Territory to compare it to:

Lol, yeah I couldn't work out which thread to put it in, however it's amazing that it was stolen and then returned to the same spot.

Haha, scratch that. I read it wrong.

Epic fail of my previous post!

[huggiebear]

Lol, for all they know it could have been done by the people next door or across the road and they just pushed it there.

Maybe a donor to an uninsured flood car - this thing has been meticulously picked over.

Was sitting in the waiting room at the doctors this arvo, and saw an advert in a hot utes magazine for those bonnets.
It was called a "Boost Bonnet", and sold for $1250 plus fitting, "using standard rams", so it must be the entire bonnet. The advert showed a Falcon and said "FG coming soon!". It was made by a mob called "TBA Customs", and proudly said it kept your underbonnet cooler and boosted horsepower!!!. I always love simple modifications like this that always promise increased horsepower when you don't actually touch the motor, intake, or exhaust at all...

So rush right out and buy one guys...and yes, that photo is exactly as attractive as they look in the advert...just like a cheap aftermarket fake WRX scoop tacked on the front of the bonnet. Lovely.

Here's a link to them on Facebook. Couldn't find an actual website for the company.

ummmm.....

[GreenR]

^^ ahaha lol. Well granted their efforts on the falcon look much better then on that commodore

[fordman302]

definatelly the same company? the ford one looks like somebody has made on effort to make a decent looking bonnet, whereas the holden one above looks like an sti scoop on a commodore bonnet, to far forward at that

[nipper575]

I'm not so sure either. Agree with Fordman302.

[deesun]

I have one on my XR6T, I love it and soooooo many ppl look at it. I think the fluted style suits the commy better but this style suits the Fords. As for the claims well they are claims.

It has the matching side skirts and front bumper...

It doesn't even come close to looking right on that car.

Today I saw one of those ugly Ssangyong things with Mercedes badges on it.
That's embarrassing to Mercedes.
