thanks guys you have made my mind up for sure those chop jobs look nuts as for pics of it at the moment i havent placed any of the parts on it yet and i orderd my front bar yesterday so i am waiting for it to arive then the pics will start to roll in when the car gets started in the panel shop.

thanks to those who put the effort in on the photos. as for cloth trim no power options your crazy i want this to look different be comfortable and cruz every where i only have a set of ba 18" xr8 wheels for it at the moment but in the future deepdish 19" chrome will be the go

as for the chrome strips i have new ones alredy for the bar at home you cant hvae a top end car with out chrome as a matter of fact you cant have any car with out some little peice of chrome and as for the bonnet i aint sure what to do with it just yet as i have seen on our sponsors site that they have a ba buldge but i think that will be over the top i think the standard xr bonnet will do the trick

Hopefully I can see the NL in the flesh sometime soon ;)

I'd love to see a bit of both... ELXR bar with a hacked middle, plus a Fairlane bonnet plus FBT grille to fill the middle... plus a bulge :P

a mate and i just recently had a stuff around with his xr6 and my fairlane and it looked really weird with the fairlane grill in the middle cos we put my grill on his car as i thought that would look nuts but it just put me off not my kind of thing i spose but i think thats because my grill is an ugly one

what does the fbt grill look like ?

I dont really know what you mean, unless your doing a full custom front bar, and bonnet?

Anyway, i have mesh in the front little grill, and down the bottom.


p.s., the flash has shown it up, It dosnt stand out that much usually.

However i wont be keeping this as we are going a slightly different route with it.

p.s.s this is a fairmont ghia with a xr front

hmm

i say do what you want. if you make something sh1t, youll suffer for it.

for example, xr front on stock spec gli = sh1t
xr front on worked and lowered gli = cool

long as there is no fake badges, i reckon interchanging panels and parts is cool
