Isn't it the same design with the air scoops as an XB GT?

[BLACKAUXR8]

yep it is. There's also a twin turbo AU XR8 ute on ebay with that bonnet on it.

i made one of those back in 2002 ... someone is still driving around with it lol

[HOTC2R]

Looks ok, just not with that egg crate grill..!!!!

[Josh_XC]

Doesnt look to good on an AU but nothing looks good an an AU lol... kidding.

Still its a good effort though to mould a GS bonnet into an AU bonnet.

[StealthAu]

Looks more Monaro then GS

[HLC]

yuck.

[robjunior]

looks terrible,does not do either car justice -xb or au. whats next xw bonnet scoop or how about flared guards off the xd-e.each to there own but i dont like it

[XR6Stu]

I dont mind them. if i didnt have more important things going on at the moment, I would defintily get one for my car.

when ever someone sees something like this they say it a holden rip off but we all know holden stole the design concept from 70s fords

[StealthAu]

Never said is was a hloden rip off, but it does look more monaro then xb. It doesn't have the inserts of the xb, not only that but due to the general shape of the bonnet makes it easier to identify with a monaro bonnet then an xb.

I think colour coded and on slicker & modified example of an AU, it would look good.

Yes stockau am aware of them would love one in carbon fibre think there about $1500 even the paintable ones at around $700 are a bit much at the moment ! :

Wonder if it would look good on a bf they should have painted it the same colour

[Stav]

It looks good. I would stick it on with a nice bonnet scoop.Looks alot better than the barren and half assed bonnets by ford in recent years..bulges without a scoop or slot..Bahhh!!!

[ClassicAU]

I don't think it's such a bad concept. It would look a lot better on a nice AU XR, as I feel it would match the twin headlights more. I wonder if the flutes are functional? It's about the same as putting a shaker on. Personally, if I was to go a custom bonnet, I would go shaker all the way, and somehow make it work as a cold air intake.

I like the look of it. Would it fit on an AU XR8 ser 3 with the standard grill ?

[RG]

I like it, could be a good solution for my under bonnet temps.

Well something else that i say on ebay the other day.

Tis an au with the monaro scoops on the bonnet.
Looks better than the GS on in my opion.

Cheers

eeeeewwwwww.....painted one maight look good, but the black/carbon fibre/whatever the hell that is makes the AU look like 2 tonnes of crap

Just my opinion - but i do enjoy the standard look, or subtle bodykit type modifications...i hate ricer/tuner crap

That car look gorgeous! At $8k, it's a pretty good bargain. I may have to watch it and see what happens to it. I wish I had a $10k float for this type of thing, lol.

I particularly like that bonnet.

I like it to I think it would be great for under bonnet temp and maybe one side could be plumbed into the air box :
