Can You See it Yet?

[Maoilearca]

So, this darn (mythical?) pony emblem supposedly embossed on the underside of the bonnet, and revealed when defrosting on an icy day (through engine warmth) - is it real? Has anyone seen it? It's discussed here (at 19m22s):

...but still no pictures.

Until NOW! So, am I like a religious zealot seeing Jesus in a slice of toast, or is something forming here? Alas, that was as good as it gets.

Squint, and you can almost see it.

:lol: think you have gone mad mate! Gave up on that a long time ago...I saw a photo recently of a US car with the bonnet open. Can clearly see the pony on the underside. Guessing we didn't get it in Europe :shrug:

I know it's a cold morning by the photo's.... but steady on with the Brandy !

Probably - but why? More to the point, I've not found any pics of US cars with their ponies slowly appearing on the defrosting hood. Does it simply not work? :headbonk:

You may laugh at me now, but later...you'll probably still laugh at me (it's true that I have been on an all-nighter with the Christmas Bailey's)

Would love to know to be honest. Another really cool little feature like the puddle lights. We could always ask Ford? Just for a giggle!

Looks more like the head of an elephant to me:eyebulge:

From the guys that've actually peeked under the insulation, EB >DOESN'T< have this, but a GT apparently does.

However regardless, t's shocking and doesn't work as intended by any stretch, i've personally never seen a single car on the forums do it successfully baring the one guy on facebook who cut a pony out of snow on his hood

If [MENTION=6364]Twin Turbo[/MENTION] is free he can show you the patents for more of this kind of technology ford filed for a few months ago which include other heated 'decals'.

Thought you meant this until I noticed the Mickey Mouse ears vaguely appearing on the bonnet ;)

God - it's on the window too!

Yeah, I think even Ford realised it doesn't work as intended. However, they're now looking to go step further!

I think the bit I've put in bold will be the important bit. I'm assuming it'll effectively be a heating element under the hood, rather than just relying on engine heat.

"Essentially, a system of heat-emitting and heat-absorbing “thermal structures” would be placed on the inside of the hood and hooked into a controller, creating a “heat transmission structure for forming heat generated graphics through the use of moisture and precipitation in and around the vehicle.” Essentially, these contraptions would use heat to make a pattern or design on the hood (and possibly doors and other surfaces in the future), in this case, the Mustang’s iconic pony"

I think at best you might have one of Picasso's Cubism's there!

Love to see someone try and run this by Ford's warranty department... :doh: !

For what it's worth....the S197 just had a couple of little ponies embossed into the hood insulation. Here's mine:

Fuck that, I don't care enough for it, it provides zero benefit etc.... Also my car doesn't have it soooooo :lol::lol:
