Default ED XR Grille

Hi there guys.
Does anyone know anyone that builds fibreglass replica's of the ED XR front? I need 1 for a speedway car, and don't want the cost involved in buying the original Ford version when its going to be damaged and repaired constantly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Most aftermarket bodykit suppliers can sell you a 'GTXR' front bar, which is a cross between an EB GT front bar and the ED XR headlight setup.

Seeing as you dont need the lights I reckon this would be perfect for you.

Yeah have looked into both the panel shops and fabricators, they need to make a mould to start with.
Yeah also looked the GTXR Bar, which may eventually have to do, just was hoping to retain the standard plastic bumper bar, as they will cop a bit more of the rubbing then the Fibreglass bars.
Just thought there may of been someone out there who made them!
