From purely a cost perspective, it is hard to make sense of putting a proposal up to put composite panels on FG/X.
888 was spoken of as having spent $1.2m homologating ZB, funded presumably by Holden & friends. Same amount of work required to design Mondeo probably, even if they only run 8 of them not 14.
$1.2m, 8 Fords = $150k per car...
What will a composite FGX roof cost? Or doors? Or rear quarters? Or bonnets? Or boot lids?
Is playing with Grandpa’s Axe the best use of resources?
