FFR used dick's car as a target for the digital scan system they used to create the "Mk IV" car. They did not "splash" the car but installed a buttload of small dots that the digital scanner uses as reference pionts. It is assumed that they then tweaked the scan to create a symetrical design as well as modifing the scanned information to suit their needs.
