AU xr series 2 rear bar

BZINGA · 22-04-2010, 10:20 PM

My xr8 has the body kit but my rear bar extension has a shabby towbar hole cut into it and on the left side has a piece missing like its been broken off ... Does anyone know where i can get these new?

Need to see a picture of the rear Trick to be sure, but looking at the side on shot from your other post I would guess the hole has been cut for the bar as the lower lip on the standard bar is removed to fit the skirt on the XR, There are some XR S2 & S3 bars on Fleabay at the min.

I had a look on ebay but could only find 1 guy selling a lower rear skirt but was cracked & had a towbar hole aswell. I'm not after a complete rear bumper. The broken bit on mine is kind've underneath but it's a big piece been broken off, almost like a botched attempt too make a cut out for another exhaust pipe.

Looks like the wreckers then FTG or the like but it doesn"t sound cheap

: I will check with Pinky and RG later and see ware they got there bits from and send you a PM

I'm here!

I had mine replaced after a light rear ender back in June 08 with a new factory item. According to Ford at the time (I had to find the part as the panel beater couldn't) it was the second last one in existence in the country so if that was true I doubt you'd be able to find one now.

Just the lower rear skirt without the brackets or paint was $1300 trade. :togo:

be patient and keep watching ebay,
they do keep popping up! i bought a S2 Tickford lower lip off their brand new to replace my slightly damages one, It was brand new, had been undercoated and never fitted, i payed $250, then two weeks after i got it home, one went exactly the same for much less $$$

It'd be nice if a couple turned up on ebay soon, i'm trying to be patient but i'm the type of person that wants it yesterday rather than waiting lol

There's one ATM on there but it has the tow bar cutout and has a crack.

UU TS50 · 24-04-2010, 07:15 PM

i saw 1 on ebay the other day but looked like crap and also had towbar cutout in it too

here it is anyway

BZINGA · 24-04-2010, 07:28 PM

Yeah i saw that one the other day, it's the right price :hihi: but is only a fraction better than mine

BZINGA · 28-04-2010, 10:01 AM

This is doing my head in trying too find a lower skirt, the amount of places i've rang and emailed i thought there would be atleast 1 floating around. Best i've come up with is a complete bar & skirt for $450 + 140 delivery in genuine so far. I'm going to the bumper repair guy today too see if mines repairable, worth asking anyway.

Have you tried Carl's Performance Parts in St Albans yet?

No i haven't tried him for the lower skirt, i did try him for the blue momo gear knob awhile back but he didn't have one. I'll give him a message.

Thanks for that but i'm trying to get one without a towbar hole, mine all ready has that anyway.

spooty · 28-04-2010, 10:35 AM

BZINGA · 28-04-2010, 01:25 PM

Well i went and saw the bumper repair guy and he said he can fix mine so that's good news, 2 days to fix and ready to go for $200 ... fibreglass ones started at $275 plus delivery so i'm happy i get to keep my genuine one.
