A wannabee ... he wishes!!

[snypereb]

[Iggypoppin']

Has altezzas, what more needs to be said?

[phil545]

lol im rocking altezzas, but the led version so they look nicer :P

[Nikked]

Seen a few BA's with ticky badges...

Its not that silly given that Prodrive bought out Tickford and rebranded its australian arm as FPV....

[T3man]

Except that Prodrive took the Tickford soul out of building cars; simply producing mass-marketed badge engineered transportation.

And thats different to E-series XR's how?

[EgoFalcon]

Just as bad as putting a BF GT body kit on a BF SR I reckon.

E- and AU series XR's were acutally a performance upgrade, not just a trim option.

[FPV GTHO]

Dont get hung up on NA XR6, theres still XR6 Turbo and XR8.

The funny thing is that a lot of B series owners (early models) would probably be able to find a few Tickford logos on their cars from factory. Early XR6T's have the Tickford badge on the intercooler, the locknut keys are still Tickford ones, a few of the bodykit parts for utes are also ex-Tickford.

True... plenty of Tickford badges on the back of some of the body-kit pieces on my BF Super Pursuit.

Lol @ senseless FPV bashing

There is a white BA XT in Canberra with a tickford badge on it. Looks identical to this, except for the color and the goofy taillights. Thought it was someone who liked the wings.
