Hi everyone,
I've recently finished a graphic that I can cut in vinyl. I'm interested in the opinions of Ford enthusiasts because when I've shown other people, they don't quite seem to love it as much as I do. It's the old XA Superbird body with the FPR falcon head grafted in. It's taken me something like 15-20 hours to get it to where I'm happy with it. If there's enough interest, I'll do a run of them in different sizes for us Ford folk... the colours can be changed to any combo, or just the outline without the coloured insert... feedback is much appreciated...

Looks pretty good to me. Like the blue too.

I'm a fan. If this is the original there's not a whole lot of difference but I get the modern update with the FPR head.
Both are nice Raptors  "birds of prey"

I like the original and I think you’ve done a very good job on the updated version.
Maybe I’m missing the point but if I had an old Hardtop I’d want the original version and regardless of how good the new design looks I don’t see a reason to add it to a unrelated modern day car. . Last edited by Express; 29-04-2015 at 12:49 AM. |

Maybe the fans need to get together with the dealers and create some special editions of the Falcon before it all ends.

Thanks for the feedback so far everyone... and you're spot on with the original graphic inspiration, Raptor.
I realise it's not going to be for everyone, but it's just an interesting concept I thought of and decided to make up a graphic. I agree, it probably wouldn't suit an original hardtop, the original would much better suit an XA. |

Maybe cut a 12 inch one to suit the back window of the latest Falcon and put some text under it saying ‘The Bird Has Flown The Coop’.
