What I was told was that the bar itself is ABS but the lip on them is glass from factory - would make sense since they were such a limited run that I dont think Ford would make them from ABS (not enough to justify it). Now Ive never actually had a genuine 250 bar so I cant confirm it but I do believe the bloke that told me.

There was a fantastic display of AU's, was great to see so many in a field dominated by B-series.We won best XR6 Au through to FG. The Au's can still hold their own against the newer variants....wooohooo.

Yeah i seen ya mate but was hanging on hey was great fun we had a ball.

Lors of very nice AU's there was great to see. Glad to see an AU win a trophy in a field dominated by B Series cars unfortunately.
The XR with the metalic burgundy paint looked awesome.

If you are talking about the one I think you are I was talking to the owner.
It is actually black with a red pearl over it.
Was an awesome colour.
