Default Typhoon front bar

Is it possible to get a custom BA/BF Typhoon front bar to fit an EL/NL?

why do people get so uptight about what others do to THEIR own cars, i've never got that.

and no i don't have one! I've seen it done to a white EL though and it looked......... different. Not really my cup of tea but so be it.

Cant argue with that..... but its rarer to see a Typhoon Front bar on an E-Series

PS thats also why you dont buy a BA BF as they all have "similar" body mods

Considering it is the same model car, not years of styling changes and body shapes. Cause i'd really love to put a FG front bar on my car...

Each person is diferent and im saying it IMO it would look terrible... The kit is styled for a car ten+ years newer.

As for making my car look like a Force Its the same year as a force it is the same body styling and hell if they came manual i would own one.

And Sorted mate i can understand that you enjoy picking out little details about my car, i guess thats what jelousy does to people..

keep your standards...

have a go at everyone with an ea-ed with ef/el seats/doortrims
have a go at everyone with ba buldges on e-series/landcruisers and what ever else you see them

hell why dont we just keep our cars stock and compare what km we have on the odo. because by your sarcastic words then its stupid to put anything on a car that didnt come from that era.

ps turbos didnt come out on eb's they were designed on the ba xr6ts ;) 10+years *cough*

and i agree with the badges, unless its the actual car it came out of factory (eg ef2 ghia std with tickford running gear) then dont put badges on. but putting a phoon bar on a car that OBVIOUSLY didnt come out with any phoon variaties isnt stupid, and i think the bar looks nice so stop putting people down. arnt you meant to be in the ba section?

The EF/EL Ford was a fine car ....shouldn't have their history ruined by sticking on fibreglass B series body kits.......Not only does it look hideous but it is hideous.

I have no issue with people upgrading their cars to a higher spec model....but within the same series please.

Theres also an annoying market for B series XR8 bonnets on anything AU and below...crazy stuff

Enough please.

What people do their cars is completely their own business and nobody else is entitled to put them down, even if they don't like it.

I feel fairly certain most would agree that as long as people are not passing something off as something that it is not, then all bets are off and what you can do is limited only to your imagination, wallet and what you can get past the registrar.

It is abundantly clear however that nobody on this forum is entitled to take a superior line with others because they think their vehicle is better and thus they get some sort of added status. Not the case and we won't put up with it.

As to the bars? Bloody awful from my perspective on the softly lined E series, but just because I don't like it doesn't mean nobody else should either. Individuality is why we blow so much on what sensible people regard as mere transport.

Each to his own.
