Not the same, and more would be needed for the XR bar. The lights would need attention. As the XR bar has four cutouts/indents for the XR lights. Can't see it being easy, but would look sweet.

You need to make up your mind fish thought you were getting a scortcher kit? Now you want a BA front bar? Bonnet Bulge?

What headlights are you using, do you have a pic of the front with the bar fitted?

You would need a big budget to do a BA front end conversion, probably more than the vakue of the ED...

i have used the stock ED light.. basically done the same as John (EFFalcon).. Used the top half of a ED bar and the bottom half of a BA XR bar and grafted the 2 together.. suits the car really well.. i got most of the rear done today..

No pics yet.. i plan on releasing pics when she is all done.. just incase i dont like it with the full kit..

Cheers,
Nik

The scorcher kit would look way better than the BA kit it would suit it more.

im going to me making myself a ED/BA front bar soon too.
just need to win the BA front bar on ebay.

i'll be using the ED top part of bumper and plastic welding it to the bottom part of the BA XR bumper.

and im thinking of getting it fibreglass moulded. if it turns out good value ill be selling them to perth people for what it cost me to mould (plus about $20 to cover fuel and other little expenses)

ill let you know how it goes

Hey tocchi..

I have looked at having a mould made already mate but the prob is you can't get RWC with a full fibreglass bar on our cars mate.. Plus the brackets to hold it on are a real *****.. But i am sure you will see wat i mean.. LOL..

Cheers,
Nik

RWC is like the check to see if your car is safe to be on road.. then you can register it.. everything from seats to tyres are checked for more info do a search..

Reason i was told is because the standard bars have intrusion bars/bracing in them.. by removing them you effectively reduce how "safe" the car is..

That is why most body kits for our cars are just a add-on to the standard bar..

Cheers,
Nik
