Mega congrats GTP200.

2 sleeps to go before my Citric GT. Ordered it early march, Hows that for a short wait.

Thanks for the pictorial.

Love the blacked out chrome. (IMHO, it's the one thing that makes the ba look tacky). How did you do, if paint what type, does it bond to the strip well.

Hey congrats again, best wishes, and heaps of fun

So tell me, are all the herrod's mods covered by the ford warranty? I was under the impressoin that if you fitted a full exhaust you lost warranty on the motor an drivline components!

Shame on you though. I've been trying really hard to keep away from that Thomastown based person and things like this make it harder!

Russ, Resistance is useless.

I reckon one of the best things about going to Herrods is Robs attitude. After speaking with him for 5 mins, I feel like he cant do enought for me.

Oh and seeing the Laminge machine in progress as well.

Thanx Paul

I made the black stripe with BLACK electrial Tape as a short term look just to see how it feels. Not sure if I will make any long term change at this stage. Stay tuned.

G'day Steve

I use a SONY DSC-F717 (5 Megapixel). It also help being a Pro Photographer.

All the photos have been reduced from 2.5mb to 50kb, which is why the quality is so poor.

It really depends on what / if somthing goes wrong. The Herrod stuff has its own warranty with Herrods, while if Ford can prove that any modification has caused a malfuction, then that bit wont be covered.

If you have a XR6T, most modifactions usually lead to serious warranty issues. The Mods I've done on my GTP are not massivly excessive which I believe would cause serious concern for long term wear and tear problems. The good thing about most of the Herrod stuff is that the modifications are done which enhance the factory power so you dont stuff your car in the name of "Performance"
