Who`s moved my cap?? Oh it`s still on me `ead.:lol: :lol:

I like it,but is it still only a concept? Concepts can radically change before production,that`s if they happen at all.

Maybe, but I read concept as in it was a Tourneo based on the new Transit. I still think the mirrors look a bit Friday afternoon though, maybe the bloke who designed them didn't get to see the van that they were going on?

Looks like a Fiesta on steroids.

Should've kept the dashboard "business". You don't have to attract young female buyers to the Transit.

Well if it was me that designed it i would have designed them with removable caps then the ones that want ugly holes in their dash could have them.
