Default My Imagination

but is the XR front bar on an AU longer than the standard bar, or a TS50 bar. Just looking at a few pics of non xr's and xr's, and i swear the xr bar is deeper, making the XR's look slightly longer.

Or do i have Simons problem. I drink too much :

looking at S2/3 XR bars compared to standard will give you that illusion.

looking at the syling, the XR Bars drop off vertically, looking at a side profile, where as, the normal front bar curves back in under.

and yes the XR bar is deeper. in height, and because of its shape, down in the lower half of it, it is deeper too.

I thought i was seeing things. Thanks Henri. What got me thinking was the wheel thread where i posted a side shot of my car as well as seeing Alpineau's car, the front bar looked shorter.

He is only little in size. I suspect he should try starting from scratch to test out his economy, instead of topping up from the night before
