nah it wont dude because the ba boards are different, i broke that bit of plastic that was on the ends so it would go on properly. i just need somethin that will make it stick down so it looks flat.

BA Scuff Plates
Author - Falkeen This is a quick run down on how to fit the BA scuff plates into an AU, quite easy but just a few pics and proof it can be done.  BA Scuff plates (option of black or grey) Part No. BA F13222 & 223 ($21.78 for the 2) Chrome inserts (option of Ford or XR) Part No. BA 29394 ($20 for the 2) Removing the old scuff plates As simple as undoing the three srews and taking it off!  The ugly old scuff plates After removing these just pop out the plastic lug that the original screw went into (the one closest to the back of the car) and then its ready for the new scuff plates.  The old scuff plate and lug removed Installing the new scuff plates Making sure that the clip on the new scuff plate lines up, pop it down and then put the two screws required back in. Easy!  Clip on under side of new scuff plate JOB DONE! I have bought the rear scuff plates from the BA to finish the set but there is a fair difference between the original and new so i will add pics and info once completed. If you need more information on how to perform this mod, please let me know (so i can laugh at you!) Falkeen

That article wasn't written by me. it was written by falkeen
It was on the old AUfalcon site. I saved all the old tech articles before it was updated. Casper was meant to reload them all back up, i sent them all to him. But, personally, while the scuff plates look good with the insert, i'm not entirly happy with them. They are smaller than the original ones, and because of this you can see the outline where the old plate has damaged the paint slightly. But thats just on my ute Cheers

or you can get some custom made ones.
