I cant answer why, but i see the difference in the very bottom bit, so your not crazy i can see it too.
There is a line about half way which goes from the wheel across at the level of the first 'lip' on the white car, and a slightly different lowest part, the white car's looks joined, where yours doesnt and it is a slightly different shape.

ED Sprint lower lip.

As wilson said

ED XR/Sprint lower lip

Good luck trying to find an original Ford one as they are very hard to come by

If you want info on how to get the Fiberglass copies send us a PM

I have a question. On your car (or the one you posted in the aforementioned thread) SVT8, there is a 1" extension on the very bottom of your front bumper... WTF is that? My car hasnt got it, and alot of early e-series do. What car did it come on, and why doesnt mine have one?

(Sorry if not making much sense, got a little too friendly with Johnnie Walker tonight)

SVT8 · 31-08-2006, 10:28 PM

its just plastic.....Theres a few grazes on the bottom of it so im guessing its like a protecter thing. Its on my rear bumper to, couldov been an option when the cars came out??who knows, im more confused now then when i started.

Im pretty sure its just a fairmont thing...
The white ED had a sprint front bar, yours is the fairmont one... as opposed to mine which is just the standard Falcon...

SVT8 · 31-08-2006, 10:52 PM

I have seen many XR's with it to??? was that shot taken up around mount ridley you could probably see my house in the background lol??

Allen · 01-09-2006, 08:51 AM

Yeah, im pretty sure that xr's/S-packs had the same fairmont bumper. Its only a plastic add on to the bumper.
Yea, thats mount ridley... My house is down there somewhere too :P

that small "lip" that svt8's got is something that fairmonts, s-packs and i think xr's that didnt get the optional body kit got. coz i know that my s-pack has got a colour coded one, but my eb series 1 that i used to have had a grey one

OED666 · 01-09-2006, 04:08 PM

True. I have an unpainted one on my Ghia. The rear bumper is also grey right at the bottom to match the front

Another post to confirm that mini lip thingy is normal. My EB1 Ghia has one, however the bumper is pretty mashed :P Tis a 2-piece lip, as OED666's picture shows (if you look carefully)

Yep. That's what saved mine when I pranged the car. The bumper was ripped in half, with half of the front lip attached to each side of the bumper! Just took it off the old debris and bolted it to the new bumper

5L · 01-09-2006, 05:32 PM

yeah it is normal. and i think there may be one on the rear bar aswell. i cbf'd checking

Kenaz · 01-09-2006, 06:16 PM

My old EA used to have a ED XR lower lip thing. It looked good.

OED666 · 01-09-2006, 11:39 PM

i cant recall ever seeing one without that little bit at the back... its part of the mould of the rear bar

5L · 02-09-2006, 01:18 AM

OED666 · 02-09-2006, 08:33 AM

that was the morning after the drags...

i was under my car the other night when i was fitting ultra superlows... rubber everywhere, and a nice coating all over the wheel arches...

will be more after powercruise next weekend.
