Hi Guys,

I recently purchased an FG XR6T but have noticed that the badges on the back don't look right.

I have the XR6 turbo badge on the left and a missing falcon badge.

Is this anything to be concerned about or is it worth calling the dealership to complain?

Who applies the badges? The manufacturer or dealership?

Has this occurred to anyone else?

Ben.

You have put me at ease my good friend.

If my car is exactly the same as this:

Does that mean my build date must have been after that one?

There's no way the dealership could have put that on because it looks too perfect.

I just don't know why its on the left hand side and missing the falcon badge?

That is weird, I would go back to the dealer and double check their other cars and then have a chat to your salesman.

looks like the XR6 Limited Edition has the badge on the left and not falcon badge, but the turbos should have the normal badges

Very dodgy, they have been added later on.

That's what I thought, something doesn't add up.

This is a lot more serious than I thought.

I don't care if I've signed a cooling off waiver because I've been given a car that's been tampered with and technically not brand new.

You've f'd up big time Ford.

I will keep you all posted as to what happens tomorrow.

Don't get too stressed yet, just wait and see what they say. Have you spoken to them today yet?

But you're right, the cooling off waiver is invalid if they have indeed tampered with the car.
