i think it looks

anyones of here??

took the pic at nat day

carl

 

I have that pic saved aswell.....Looks VERY smart imho

Love the old Tip-ex'd wheel writing too

 

just a shame the front bumpers never match the wings and bonnet

 

 

Glad you mentioned that!

Looks very nice though

 

Is them graphics an option?

If not, thats Si Guilfords as his has/had them graphics on.

Ive driven that car then if its his...

 

Looks

 

i have noticed lots of new cars with non maching front bumpers, not just with ford vauxhall and audi

 

why is that then,the bumpers totally diff colour,surely its not had a paintjob already?

 

IIRC they are painted in different countries

 

The graphics are an option Steve.....except the Team RS ones

 

Not sure about countries but certainly they are painted in different factories/places...

Mitsubishi are another one for it, was down the local forecourt the other day and there was a silver Evo in there that looked terrible

Why can't these big companies get it right ffs, it's not all about th number of cars you sell and how big the bloody bank balance is

 

Front bumper may be injection moulded, like alot of mazda's etc.. paint takes differently to the plastic rather than the metal blah blah... i think anyway, don't hold me to it though.

 

The new Jag XK8 is the same especially in silver were the bonnet bumper and wings are all different !!!!

 

the graphis are an option when u buy the car the team rs ones are put on by the owner, ford dont do these as an option

 

when i saw a few a first i ust thought maybe everyone was crashing there new cars

seen so many now on spankers too so its either shit plastic like coldo says

or its literally differentbatch of paint from a diff day

 

i think his missus's car is the fiesta st next to it. was featured in performance ford last year.

[/url]

 

man its a really good lookin car but it would do my FUCKIN head in everytime i look at it with the bumper like that


i would have to get it painted but then you will have a brand new car which has already had paint so wont be 100% original

ford, aud and vw SORT YA fookin bumpers out lol

carl

 

i saw this one at nat day as well and shows what can be done by ford if they could be bothered. in the same pic in the background there is an orange st which had a factory sun roof and the same standard wheels but on 20 ins never seen either before.

very full arches

 

That look's

Saw both the cars mentioned at Trax (i think) spoke to the owner of the white one and it was for sale at the time, was quite a well sorted car and quick too.

 

Yeah ure almost spot on.Cause manufacturers are using different types of 'hybrid' plastics they never seem to match atall!! Ive seen myself paint a car and never had the bumpers or spoilers look the same.We re-shelled an escort one time and once i painted it all the owner of the company came down and flipped sayin 'did u use diff paint for the bumpers!!' and i was like no its just the way ford are making the bumpers now.

Pain in the ass if you ask me

 

thats bad then,if i bought a brand new car i would refuse to accept it till they sorted the colour match out

 

It honestly is a hard thing to do.You can paint and paint it and its still gonna look outa place its the manufacturers fault for using these new 'hybrid' plastic bumpers.At the end of the day there trying to make them stronger but lighter for our safety etc but at a cost.Worked with ford for years and always had this problem with the damn bumpers and surprisingly enough alot of manufacturers are the same just not as noticeable for some reason fookin fords eh

 

Dont like it


Needs to be plain white, different wheels

 

sawbmw yesterday with ba mismatch

ford DEFFO aint the only ones

 

liking that!

Ditch them team RS stickers an the sun strip an i reckon that is spot on!

Would be well pissed off if I got a car that looked like josephs technicolour dreamcoat though
