Ford has wrapped part of its Cologne Fiesta plant with about 3,000 metres of specially designed mesh to celebrate the redesigned line’s start of production.


The design was done in the UK and made using the sole press in the country capable of producing it.


It took six workers eight days of around-the-clock work to give the industrial block its multi-colour update.


The banner weighs in at a massive 1.5t and needs 25t of water ballast to hold it in place. It has already been tested by thunderstorms and heavy rain as it was put up.


Ford claims pilots approaching the German city now point the factory out to their passengers.
