I actaully like it and think it's about time something like that was made!

There is no way in hell that I would be caught dead driving it, but I'm sure we'll see a few floating around with girls driving them.

Best way to keep the boyfriend/hubby from taking your car for a spin too ;)

It could be just the colour for the Wetspot Promo car Fordgirl!
That'd be a bonus, tax deductable pink bits and an XR to boot.

Dont mind it myself actually, but for some strange reason i've always liked modded pink cars. Woould look gay left standard but with a decent set of wheels an such it would be sweet!
All it needs now is a white leather interior with pink piping! :disco:

I like your version xr8 guy with the new rims but still aren't that keen. Just don't like pink. If I could have it and park it in the shade permanently, yeah, cool. I like the darker purple colour.

It does look pretty close to mulberry in the shadows/not so bloody bright shots. However, I still maintain that mulberry is FAR more manly and courageous.

Toxic is very similar to Citric Acid with a bit more green in it, and there is a picture of Bionic on here somewhere taken at the All Ford day in Geelong.

I don't think it would be any harder than some silver colours to match.They have computerised paint mixers nowdays. Plus it depends how good the painter is.

here's bionic, i took the pic at the AFD in geelong.


i've seen toxic on the road, but only driving past it, as it was moving in the other direction....at first i thought it was citric acid, but as it got closer, i could see that it was similar, but with a lot more green rather than yellow

I like that Bionic.... Similar to the Turismo Blue from holden though.... and also similar to a blue available on the new Renault Clio Sport 182....

Bionic reminds me of the blue I had an old KF (or was it KH?) Laser in, many years back, when i was a maggot.
Looked OK on a laser, but i saw a few EA/B/Ds Falcons in it, didnt suit at all.
One day at a servo a bloke came up to me and said,
"that colour suits your car mate, but I wish i didnt get mine in it, loks crap." He had an EA, B or D,cant remember now.

Absolutely. Knew I'd seen it somewhere before. I hate Blue Flame, but I like Bionic. I don't think I'd buy it though.

That bionic colour makes it look like a toy. Not my taste.
