Rear Lower Spolier

[JeffAU1]

Hey all,

Has anyone seen what an au would look like with a rear lower spolier without the rest of the kit ? Will it stand out like dogs balls ???

I want to get the attached AWC rear spoiler from their Seires 2/3 Fairmont kit and put it on my Series 1 Futura. Would it fit ?

Any thoughts would be great

[poolkeeper]

I think it will stick out just a bit too much, without the kit
Your car looks nice as is...

I have a spoiler on mine without any other body kit.. it doesnt look out of place.
Heaps of AU's came with a spoiler and not body kit. I dont think it will look odd at all. My only issue is if AWC will actually be contactable to supply it.

[Whoosha]

mine has the optioned rear skirt but only standard side skirts ..it needs some thing over the sills I.M.O even with out the boot spoiler they look Tuff

AWC have had a bit of gear advertised on ebay lately, you might be able contact them through there? heres a link to 1 of there listings http://cgi.ebay.com.au/AU-TS50-side-...QQcmdZViewItem

AU 2/3 rear skirt won't fit an AU1 bumper, au1 bumpers are much smaller and curve in more. Also it'd look funny without the rest of the kit imo.

[Dark Horse]

Ummm, out of place?????

Lots of XR's running around with the rear spoiler and no kit.

[StealthAu]

just to clarify, we are talking about the rear bar, not the boot lid

[JeffAU1]

Yeah the lower rear bar.

Im going to get it, but i need to find a series 2/3 rear bumper first now.

You could just modify the AU1 rear bar. They're not that much different.

Really ?

When i rang AWC they said that there is no way it would fit...

Gday mate. I am trying to sell my original AUII rear bumper and the original tickford skirt at the moment. PM me if you are interested in finding out more.

They meant "easily". I have an AU1, and my mate has an AU2, and they are not that different. The bottom line is slightly different, but if you're adding the lip, then cutting a bit of the bottom part of the bar to make it fit is no big deal - I believe Glenn had to do that on his AU2 bar anyway.

V8snerlo looks like the best option for you though - I even think it's in a similar, if not the same, colour.

if youre talking about putting the bumper skirt on without the rest of the kit, i reckon it'll look a bit odd.

[JeffAU1]

Im PM'ing v8snerlo so i'll see if i can just get the whole thing off him, depending on postage from QLD to NSW though :

Anyone want to give photoshop a go ???

Im hopeless with that program. More car pics at www.aufalcon.com/jeffau1

.

Yeah they cut the rear bars from factory to fit the tickford skirt. I would just go get the series 2 bar if you wanted it on a series 1... just to get it to sit properly.

you can get a series 2 bar from the wreckers for about $120. the bar from leon is red, but I'd just buy that and spray it, all the fiddly cutting and fitting is done and from memory his price was very reasonable.

His price is resonable, but the cost of QLD to NSW delivery may not be.

Plus then i gotta still get it sprayed.

[Ruger]

it cant be that bad i got a whole bodykit front rear bars and sideskirts shipped from qld for $60 youd be able to get it half that price

Who did you use ???

PM me if you would rather...

[JC]

Send a PM to Mechan!k - he's a courier, so may be able to get a good price for you.

PM Sent.

[JeffAU1]

Well I got the Rear Bar from v8snerlo this week. It looks unreal

I will look at getting it sprayed and fitted over the next few months.

Here she is :sm_drool:

[GlennBA]

Looks good, but trust me mate.. save up and get the side skirts and front skirt too. Get it all done at once, you won't regret it.

Im sure you are right...

How much did you pay for your kit to be fitted and painted ???
(Not counting the purchasing of it)

[mattp]

Damn, makes me wish I'd bought that off v8snerlo now!

I almost feel bad. $200 was a steal.

[Mechan1k]

Definitely get get the Series II side skirts and front lip.
It'll take you a little longer ... but in the end when it comes to paint ... it is cheaper to get it all done at once and then fitted in one go
No spoiler though ... then deck it.

Patience is a virtue ... but in the end ... it will look the goods.
