Default AU XR Front Quarter Panel

Just a quick question, is the XR Series 2 front quarter panel the same as the series 2 AU fortes quarter panel? The reason i ask is that i got a bit of damage on my panel and i can get the same coloured quarter panel for cheap. i am going to get a couple coats of paint added on so colour diffeence is not a proclem.

Do you mean the front guard?

If you do the XR's are NOT the same as the Forte's etc..The fender is technically the same but you will neeed to re-work to mount the inner XR Bar brackets

oh okay. yeah the panel that is above the front wheel and goes from the front bar to the front door. how much work is invloved in making it fit? i think it might be cheaper and better to get it panel beated.

you ony need get some nut serts put into the front of the guard.. Most panel shops will have the tool to do it. It allows the angled bracket to be fitted to the guard and that bracket holds the XR bar to the fenders neatly
