Default BA Fairlane bar onto an AU Fairlane

Hi guys,
I was wondering would a BA Fairlane front and rear bumper bars fit on an AU Fairlane (mounting points etc.)? I know that externally they are quite different but that could be overcome with a few mods.
Thanks Pete.

I believe BA bars are only held on with clips near the wheel arch whereas the AU ones are bolts so if they do "fit" you would be modifying mounts/mounting points

I would think so.

I've seen BA Falcon fronts put on AU Falcons and considering how extremely similar the BA Fairlane is to the BA Falcon, I wouldn't be surprised if it'd be the same amount of work.

Someone here did the Falcon swap. Was it The Dok?

Nah i just want the lower deeper look bars that are on the BA. The AU overall is pretty good with a V8. Just getting some ideas sorted to make plans for future upgrades. I got that double din touchscreen in and sorted so thats out of the way. Next up is looks!
