TS50 Body kit

[Mark One]

Why is it the front part of the TS50 body kit won't fit on series 1?

[StealthAu]

it will if you change the bonnet

[Mark One]

Thats all? Just grab a series 2 or 3 bonnet?

[StealthAu]

and bonnet latch

[StealthAu]

seires 1 fairmont bonnets will also work, obviously not any xr bonnet. as long as the front is straight cut.

[Mark One]

Ok then thanks for that.

or you could just get the lower half of the bar

[StealthAu]

yes, but looks like 5hit

not really. lower half of the bar, hawk grill, AWC buldge bonnet. would look tops.

If you got the whole TS50 kit does a grill come with it (or is it a seperate buy, or do they expect you to use another e.g. series II)

I was looking at getting this kit for my AUI, so it would be:

AUII (or III) bonnet and latch
and the rest comes with the body kit?
or do I need the grill from the car I got the bonnet from?

or doing what HLC said, which would be cheaper for me seeing as I have the series I bonnet already on the car...and conveiniently in the same colour as the car lol.

If you get the series 2 TS50 bar, it comes with grille (it's all one piece).

If you get the lower bar only (ie no grille), you can use it on any AU - series 1 or 2/3, and just use your existing grille. If you have series 1, then Hawk grille would be a must to spice up the front bit. If you have a fairmont etc, then lower bar may be all you want and use existing fairmont grille.

Thanks, just the help I was after. :

Found some pics on AWC's site to help illustrate the differences:

I wa acctually about to ask if there were any pics, as I've just been trying to find some and I couldn't find any with just the lower bar.

That looks really good acctually.

If there's anyone here who can use photoshop you couldn't stick a TS50 lower bar on this could you? I just want to see it at an angle to get dimensions.

P.S. doesn't have to be on the pic I gave, as long as it's at an angle, thanks.

heres another option fo a low seires bonnet

[HLC]

some chops ive done. they are ok.

what i wanted...





series one with kit.

While we are talking about kits, how much lower does the TS50 kit go than a standard Tickford kit??? Will A TS50 Front Bar be lower than Tickford Side Skirts??? Are the TS50 Side Skirts much lower than the Tickford Ones with the flares???

[Mechan1k]

Looking at the Series II XR ute skirts that I have on my ute ... and an XR50 bar ... there was a decent difference in height ... the Pursuit skirts were needed to match ... would have been an inch difference in height (quite a bit when it comes to lining a kit up.)

yeah the T3 kit is definately chunkier, it'd look mistmatched unless you got the fll kit imo.

[autickfordfairmont]

Righto, thanks for that guys, i will have to look into side skirts aswell then. Cheers

[autickfordfairmont]

Yeah already getting front and rear bar through insurance, but the side skirts will have to come out of my pocket.
