Personally I think Tickford/FPV just a marketing rip off to match the hsv name plate. Still ford or holden underneath it all. It's your car mate, do what you want with it
FPV and HSV are genuine assembly plants in their own right.......sure they get the donor car from FORD / HOLDEN - but the Go fast bits are researched / managed / assembled by the SKUNK works.....its a little bit more than an S pack badge.........lol

It may be up to the person to decide what to do with their car.....granted.........people can do what they like to fool themselves......its their perogative and their right to do what they like with their hard earnt.......would you swap your XAGT with an XA GS.......they're both the same underneath hey........

No disrespect here to owners of XR8's.......I love em. They are a beautiful looking car in their own right and a great street car.
