Talking XR8/GT Bonnets

Hi all,

Im new to this forum and to Fords in general. And im loving it.

I purchased a xr6 ute in late december. I have always loved utes, as my grandfather always drove them around when he was alive. He'd be pretty happy with what i purchased and so am I. I loved the look of the super pursuits but being quite young I couldnt really afford it and the insurance was so expensive. So i bought the xr6, which is great for me.

Its a BA MKII XR6 Ute, Colour - Toxic. I have so far added the black racing stripes and 20 inch wheels. It looks really nice. It has the soft tonneau.

Im wondering if anyone can steer me in the direction of any aftermarket bonnets with the power bulge?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Matt

Start with one of the site sponsors.. AWC. I think you'll find they do carbon fibre XR8/GT bonnets.

Try AWC, our site sponsors. Link is at top of page, or they have a Sub forum down the main page. Or if you want just a stock bulge bonnet, try FTG auto salvage. (Links and mini forums as well)


You guys beat me too it.
