Nat... its not cheap but i think its worth it... $400 for the front xr bar 2nd hand... $200 to have it painted. $400 for the headlights... havent got the indicators yet but ford sell them for about $70 each. I havent fitted it yet so im not sure how hard it will be but it shouldnt be too bad. will let you know when its done... am picking up the bar from the spray shop tonight will hopefully get a chance to fit it this weekend. Parts can be hard to find, just call around wreckers and ask... try and find a 2nd hand bar in good nick same colour as your car - will save you $$$ for painting it. I got the lights from the headlight hospital... there is a member of this site "thedok" who runs it ask him about lights... and i got the bar from ace taxi's - 165 nepean hwy mentone, dont know the number, look it up in the white pages if u cant find it let me know and ill get u the number. by the way you need to have a series 1 bonnet, xr front will not fit series 2or3 bonnet. good luck!

To fit skirts
1. Remove the plastic clips holding the inner wheel guard on (only need to remove 3 from the front and 2 or 3 from the back). 2. If you have the rubber strip along the door sills, remove it (pull up, it should just "snap" out) 3. Slide skirt on to sill (easier to do with the doors open) 4. Locate front and rear of skirt against the body - the inner wheel cover then goes over the skirt ends. 5. Secure skirt in wheel well using plastic clips, or self tapping scres (12mm x 8 or 10G ones should do). 6. Replace plastic clips removed at step 1 7. Replace rubber strip removed at step 2 (I ended up using screws to secure mine as the original clips wouldn't fir properly). 8. Drink beer. All done
