Some black tape on the headlights, come on, thats it!? LOL
That's not the XR front though is it? Aren't they going for the XR lights (or bumper I should say) in this model?

Also have you heard the V8 driving around, how does it sound, just like the FG GT Coyote or have they changed the exhaust for the new model?

Even more embarrasing would be the lower spec variants of the VF in HSV's stable getting whopped by a factory XR8.

Actually I'm thinking it is an XT or G Series because the XR has LED 'halo' park lights that go around both high and low beam lamps.

Plus the grille isnt chrome because it has been taped over in that shot.

to me it looks like a g6 with DRL's, possibly a G6E/T with a lower spec grille as it's probably a mule

Holy crap is that round shape on the bottom left of the lower bra cutout a receiver for adaptive cruise?

Ah, so that filled in part of the grill looks like the adaptive cruise on the Mondeos I think.

Hi spyman, thank god you are back. So many pages of crap in this thread since you last posted a few days ago.

Thanks for the picture of the headlight. To me it looks like there is a LED of some sort that runs under both beams. It also looks like the inner one might kick up and not be one continuous beam along the bottom. Hard to tell from the tape

Also one final observation, the upper grill looks to have the same honeycomb pattern as ealier images that showed that the grill would have an XR badge on it. This is only a guess, but I would imagine the XR and G series models would have different grill infill design/pattern.

Cheers

Anyone that knows their way around PG would be scratching their head at the tezza ad being shot in the nvh shed comment, it was clearly shot in the emission lab, the sign is even visible in the ad, other crap like storing 2800 engines wtf? I think spyman is either feeding his own ego here in the name of 'helping us passionate falcon fans' or throwing out some fantastic red herrings.
This is a great thread and the chop of the red xr8 is fantastic Nikked.
Bloke anytime you want to go for a walk pm me mate, ill set the story straight

the info I send out is for the ones that know pal and a ford hater bloke your a joke I sit for 20hrs a day for one set of pics if I hated the product I would say home and play on the xbox..............................

Nah thats not it

I was talking about the round bit, bottom left on the red one.

I could be mistaking it for something else, but first glance it looks like the small round radar unit for adaptive cruise
