This is what I had all intentions to do when I needed to replace my front bar, but I succumd to the Bling factor

Deathxr's is the prime example and it looks much more co-ordinated than mine...but apart from us enthusiast's nobody picks or says "cheez your front bar looks out of plum with the skirts" so in other words the majority wouldn't have a clue, these questions only arise here infact.

I'd like to explain why I put the XR50 front and not the rest, I was replacing the front bar due a very low speed touch up with a Hiace, the bar got cracked and the l/h side headlight brackets gave way.
I thought instead of the genuine bar put on the XR50, if it looked out of whack later I thought may do the rest but I was at pains thinking my car would look like a T3 when it wasn't !
Thankfully it turned out great imo and many others.
Good luck with your decision and enjoy

Oh mate your asking the wrong person I'm afraid, I prefer all this kind of jobs going to the experts ! Done right the first time even if costs a little more.

Is it hard to install? The panel shop that put mine on said it took some arsing around as it didn't quite fit, but that's what you get with fibre glass parts sometimes. I don't recall the price of the lip, probably around the price AWC quote, and it cost another $300 to fit and completely respray the front bar. It wasn't quite the best job, and the panel shop I use now fixed it up as part of a number jobs they did.

Get an experienced bodykit fitter to fit the XR50 bar for you, thats all i can say about fitting one.
Mine is damaged due to not fitting it correctly the first time.

I even had Adam from AWC on my lawn on grand final day busting his a r s e trying to fit it properly.

good luck, i really like the pursuit lip!

Dont need to be experienced...Carrat fitted his himself and hes never done anything like that before - you just need to give a ИИИИ!

half your problem was that you were converting a non-XR to an XR front and half the bolts needed were either missing or were using the wrong type.

what i showed you when i was on your lawn was that you can get it to fit properly you just need to get the right bolts and put ALL of them in - half werent there.

I hope you get it fixed before aufalcon day as you should be embarrassed by it and it makes it look like the bars fault when its got nothing to do with it. Makes me wonder why i bothered busting my ИИИИ showing you it fits.

Yeah we don't want no half assed AU's there.

: j/k

I didn't know it was damaged. Lets hope you get it fixed and the damage isn't too bad. Falkeen had better put a spare aside incase you need a new one. :1syellow1

its not that its half assed, its just that hes putting it on display, surely you could go to ford and grab 4 bolts for the guards and put the underpan on (if its still not on)

only minor paint damage, could be touched up for now and would make a difference

hahahaha. geeezus!

I need to get the headlight brackets reparied anyway so its got to come off soon, so when that happens the bar will be fitted correctly!
