Hi there, wondering if anyone knows where I can get a Brumby front bar for an Au Ghia? I'm in Melbourne so locally would be best but will freight if I have to. Also any idea to cost? Thanks in advance guys!!

The other option is to go to your local fibreglass fabricator and ask them for a quote on marrying up an AU upper and VX GTS lower bar (that's what the brumby is).

Hmmm. there was a shop, Canberra Car Styling but theyve closed, I know for a fact that Newgel in Fyshwick canberra brought the moulds and will still make them.
dont expect much change from $500 |

Thanks all!! I think I may try Newgel and see how much to ship down to Melbourne. The au in the pics is where I actually got the idea from as I want the driving lights put in but didn't want to get the TS50 front bar.

the VX kits are a bit more sharper and look a lot better i reckon. at least when you see them stuck on VR's and VS's

The good thing about this is that it's actually fibreglass based on a Holden bar. ie No Holden bar has actually made it anywhere near a falcon!

It sits a bit lower than the side skirts but it's not really noticeable. |

VX GTS: VT GTS: yes, the middle post is removed on the VT bar which is the brumby bar. plus the grooves around the "mouth" are filled in. just to clear anything up incase a holden fan boy has a go at you about the bumper :togo: on that note, i reckon the VX HSV's are still a horny lookin car.....
