Thumbs up Ba..au..??

Hello new to the Blue Oval and recently purchased an AU 2 black Falcon with TE50 bodykit and was curiouse what BA body parts fit AU , ex. GT or XR8 Bonnet, and rear wing GT GTP..As my car has missed out on the TE50 wing and is rather cossly to buy i thought maybe a BA GTP wing may be cheaper..and of course that bonnet bulge would set things off.. Please help if ya can..
Cheers ...

No body panels are a staright fit, you can buy an AU bonnet with a buldge attached though via Fibresports.

Difference is how they mount to the bootlid, the BA boot is a lot flatter than the AU one so youd have a hard time and a lot of modification etc ahead of you if you wanted to put one on. Probably suggest to go for a T3 style wing if you want a bigger one, would also tie in a bit better with the T series kit.

Thankyou guys .... Much appreciated...
Curiouse. is the gearbox in AU 2 Falcons as bad as the EB and EL ,are they still a weak point when pulling some power out of ya 4.0 ltr?
My AU has only done 128.000 and shifts fine but soon i will up the performance a little and dont want to worrie about the box..
Are they strong or still a little soft??
Cheers ..
