    Default 2 door XR8

    Finished work at 4.30 today and seen this current model Ford pull up at the bolt bar across the road . It was a nice metalic blue . On closer inspection i noticed it was an XR8 two door with trader plates . I was wondering if there is a company that converts them or if it was a one off . It really looked as if it was factory built , not like someone had welded up the rear doors .

    IMO it looks ok, but not great.

    The car has the same shape as the 4 door - only with 2 less doors. A proper coupe should have the nice sloped roof line/back window.

    IIRC, Ford actually built a concept car that was a 2 door Falcon, maybe that was what you saw...looked pretty sweet, too, IIRC.
