Does anyone know whats happend with the AU Arrow Coupe. I was driving home from Brisbane to Sunny Coast this arvy and i cruise up towards a black AU with red mesh inserts and I didnt really think nothing of it, got a little further and seen the bonnet and what looked like a supercar front bar. After a long day I just thought it was a custom bonnet with supercar front and kept cruising, then I look in my mirror and see this but in black
 So I didnt notice if it was a 2 door or not but Im imagine it wouldnt be cheap to replicate the front end thats on it if it is a copy or can anyone confirm it may of been the real deal. I cant find any pics of the rear bar to compare with either if anyone has any BTW it looked sexy as in the mirror :P Cheers Luke

yes to both the above replies.
i dont know if they actually built and sold any others but they were looking for sales. i seen the goldy coloured one in kenz`s pic at qld raceway one day where they were othering to build a coupe for (from memory) something like $40,000 + your car.

Something about the Front Bar and Headlight treatment makes it all look a bit 'melted'?? The body work is fine.

WOW. Looks interesting. Very similar front end look to the Merc/AMG SLK.
Hmmmm, I wonder what an FG coupe would look like??  :

Idea at a time and would have looked good but for the unsuitable Merc headlights, just doesn't look right and gives the wrong impression much like decals different wheels on special fpv's of today....oh well.
