Default BA skirts

Will BA XR skirts fit on AU sedan without any mods?

No, the sill panel to front guard on an AU is straight, on a BA the guard flares out off the sill panel if your understanding. Get a pic of an AU front guard and BA front guard and you will understand what I mean.

No. Ba/bf skirts are longer then the au.
Front quarter panel has more over hang in front of the doors.

Cheers

They will have the same problem, or be even longer again.
As i said, for sure the front quater is longer, so the skirts match. The rear section (behind the rear door) may even be longer on the ba than the au. I really don't know.

Your best bet to see how much/what needs to come off is to measure up the length of a ba skirt, then an AU one and see the difference in length.

Cheers
