Default Re: DFB's Image Collection

BF MK II Falcon continued, XT, Futura, Fairmont...................

A lot of the BF MK II images were photoshop altered to represent the new styling rather than use completely new images.

















There is a mistake with the above shot of the XT interior, who can pick it? Below image included to compare.................















There was also two limited edition models based on the XT sedan.

The first to appear was the Falcon ES in April 2007, said to offer $8000 of extras for $1250. Additional features included unique 17'' alloy wheels, sport suspension, rear spoiler, 6 speed automatic, DSC, reverse sensors, XR perforated leather steering wheel, Premium ICC with dual zone climate control (monotone Fairmont spec), prestige sound & analogue clock and warm charcoal trim.

















The second special edition arrived in January 2008 in the form of the SR, the last roll of the dice for the BF MK II. Additional features included 17'' alloys (from the BA MK II Fairlane G220/ BF SR), XR side skirts, XR spoiler, Fairmont front lip, XR chrome exhaust tip, chrome grill treatment, body coloured mirrors & side moldings, warm charcoal part-leather trim and embroidered head rests, XR perforated steering wheel and rear power windows. Also available in XR colours Nitro (yes, a FG colour), Neo and Breeze. These models didn't get the 6-speed auto or Fairmont ICC like the ES did.

I remember when these came out and thought they went too far, with the extras included, it devalued the Fairmont Ghia and XR6. But, it did look good.
