I saw plenty of these on FB\'s in the early nineties in Florida....
not something I\'d want I must admit....
They do look as bad as you\'d imagine.

I think these are one of the ugliest things you could put on any car, but on a beautiful FB you would want shooting................

Wow this looks G8,a must have for any discerning FB owner:2Rolleyes!
Amazing how much tack is still around for these cars,25 years after production ended.

The ones I could never make my mind up on were the stainless steel B pillar covers, on some cars they looked ok, but not sure I would ever put them on a car.

Most of the naff looking add ons originated in the US.
The main problem is that the 1st gen is such a good looking car to start with, with such clean lines, that as soon as people start fitting bodymods, it tends to spoil the look.
That window louvre is a disaster!
The only mods I like are the Elford front spoiler or the TWR bodykit.
I think that they suit the car really well.
I\'m unconvinced by anything else.

out of all the 1st gens i\'ve seen, the twr kit & the above look right.
The above has manta 400 flared arches on it,but it\'s so well done & subtle,i think it looks like a factory option,rather than a \'Halfrauds special\'!

Yeah,
I agree, that\'s a nice looking car, properly done though, not just a cheapo bolt on.

Only thing i\'d change on the white rex,is i\'d fill in the indentations along the side where the rubbing strips used to be.
Reminds me of the x-pack kits ford used on a limited nos of capris,think they were called Zakspeed.

But surely a little coach line might help?
When we bought the front car we specified a coach line to match the back one.

Gus in front, Flash at the back.....


Seamless change and \'Simples\'

Sorry David, I think the coachline looks better in the centre of the black moulding, in saying that my series 1 had a double coachline that followed the top wing line, the dealer had had it painted on before I bought the car.

I agree, I prefer it in the side moulding too

I like the coachlines, but then again Neville is gold so what do I know!:evillaugh

The only vehicle that looks remotely sensible with a car-bra is my mates old splitty bus-everything else just looks daft-especially on a car with pop ups.:eek:
