Don't diss mate! AU XR8's look great, 'specially with the Rebel kit. They sound sweet aswell.

Damn Holden fans, the car was alright by the AU2 and the rear end was fixed by sticking the spoiler there anyway.

Is that AJ Lindara im reading? My cursive engraving isnt up to scratch :D :p

I dont think it looks bad. The AU is growing on me, I think the front grill looks better than the smiley face grill they used to have. The Rebel body kit definately makes it look better.
I wouldnt have chose black though, but thats just my opinion :p

For someone who lives in Aus Id expect ud find one of them attractive. Or do you like the BA?

Me? Nope, I prefer smaller sedans, usually more edges. E30 BMWs for example, or the late eighties Preludes. The BA is far better than the AU, and the current gen Commodes are better than the previous ones, but they're still too bland for me. Everytime someone tries to kit a Commonwhore (and to think, I didn't come up with any of these names, picked em up around the place) it looks a lot worse than the originals.

Headlight protectors maybe?

As the car is there is how you would buy it straight from the factory, i cant tell any options on the car

Nice, when i first clicked the link i thought it was the new BA XR8, XR6T Devil, its a special edition falcon that has 18' rims with unique "shadowing" leather, and other thingo's such as badges,and book thingo's signed by Ambrose

Its just the XR8, and its shadow chrome alloy wheels, so theyre slightly different to the standard XR8 ones

actually, it is available with the XR6 and XR6T as well and comes with devilR badging and manuals / log books signed by marcuse ambrose, i was at the perth auto show on sunday and read up about it when i was there, looks alot better than standard, even though the changes are subtle

Why are they going to sell a limited edition model, for the V8 Supercars on a straight six and V8.....you must be thinking of that Magnet limited edition XR ute

fpv im def. sure that it is available to ALL XR models, and it is the DevilR, im pretty sure that marcus ambrose doenst have to endorse just v8's, he, lowndes, and inglall to the falcon ad's as well.

Oh looky looky, http://ford.com.au/falcon/devilenforcer/index.html

Sure, the 3 of them DO do the ads, but in no way do they absolutely directly link what theyre selling to the V8 Supercars. Its safe to say that by using Devil R and Enforcer they want these 2 cars to be known for the V8 Supercar success, something you just cant do with a I6 in a V8 category. It'd be like BMW sticking a V8 or V12 in the new M5 and still trying to pass off the F1 links

well just to be safe, one of my m8s went on the last day, i asked him to take a photo of the plaque that said the available models, and they must have made a typo or been slack in making adjustments

"Models Available: XR6 XR6T XR8"

Er, went where on the last day?

As i said before, the only thing Ford are offering across the whole XR range is the Magnet special edition ute
