Hey guys,
With new series 2 FG there are some new colours. We will be replacing a series 1 for series 2 G6E (fathers vehicle). Currently colour of awesome Ego. My question, does anyone have picture of a G6E in smoke as my dad doesn't like the dark blue in Edge. Cheers all

Also if you have any other new colours, could take pictures of them also? I'm sure other people would appreciate it!

That is the best I can do! The green is called Swift and isn't available yet, not until at least March. Nitro has been deleted from MKII.

deleting nitro??? geez they love deleting the most popular colours. i guess its good for desirability and resale of the FG but not so good for those wanting a nitro FG2.

agree, metallic light blue has always been successful. blueprint was easily the most popular colour in b series until they canned that. nitro was a fg colour, not a carryover colour so seems strange to discontinue it after one model.
sunburst also a great colour, as was breeze etc. |

I thought Kinetic was basically the same as Nitro just a shade or 2 darker? I've seen 2 or 3 Swift coloured paint test vehicles at work, it looks ok, a bit like Envi but a little darker, like an army green. |

I agree - I checked out some FG2's at the local Ford Dealer (Denmac Ford in Darra) the other day. First time I have seen one in the flesh. They had about 6 or 7 FG2's in the yard. XT's, XR6's & G6E's. They were parked right next to some FG1's that were obviously being runout. I just do not like the look of that horrible big black plastic grille. It looks so cheap and ugly. Even with a numberplate fitted over it it would look crap. The FG1's look so much better from the front .. just what were Ford thinking of when they redesigned the front end this way? As to dropping Nitro? WTF? This "IS" the Ford Colour. If I can't get a Ford in bright blue I don't want one. Looks like I will be waiting until FG3 to upgrade. Lets hope Ford come up with a front end that dosent look like a Mazda/Focus/Whatever. XR6 Falcons need to look tough not poncy. Mike

My mate hates the new FG2 front end, still wanted to buy a new Falcon so purchased the FG2 and purchased a FG1 front bar for it. That way he has the best of both worlds. Actually the dealer organised the bar replacement for him, at his cost of course.

Would it be possible if you could actually buy the Front Grille from FPV and install it to the FG 2 your self ?

Pah! Bring back the creatively named far out colours of yesteryear!!
Strike Me Pink! Lone Oranger! Chrome Yellow! Plum Crazy! Chateau Mauve! Purr Pull! Barracuda Green! Lettuce Alone! Ultra Violet! Little Hood Riding Red! Turbine Bronze! Vitamin C! Green Go! And more recently, Acid Rush! ...and that's just a few that spring to mind...I'm sure there's more. |

I think we have started a few threads regarding Falcon colours before! BA-BF had some great colours back in the day, the yard used to look like a lolly jar!

Breeze was a fantastic colour in the B-series, but strangely it didn't seem to gel well with the FG shape. It never ceases to amaze me how the shape of a vehicle can determine how good the colour looks on the vehicle.

I stole this kinetic FG pic from the "Show us your FG" thread. Looks very similar to Nitro I must say.
![]() I did like the Steel colour but it disappeared midway through the FG phase. Not sure what Breeze looks like.

I got the Steel Blue one. The salesman was talking about how rare it is. Pretty soon after buying it, i started spotting them EVERYWHERE!!
Really not a fan of the FG MKII...it looks too much like a Fiesta or Focus now. |
