It kinda reminds me of that 300+ AU Coupe at the front, but not quite.

it's only the front bar and skirts that are gt items, well the bulge as well. IT just doesnt look right to me, the AU's body lines dont lend it's self to the sharp lines from the BA.
still, good effort i say, something different.

uuummmmm....okay.....its different, thats for sure. definite head turner....whether its a good thing or not, im still not sure. although the ba has similar shape to the au, it doesnt mean that the ba kits should be placed on the au.....like placing vy clubsport kit onto a vn...just doesnt look good

I like it, although you can keep those cheap *** tail lights; AU2 clears are so much better.

Also an off center Tickford badge on the grill would be good, similar to FPV's.

I like it - much better than other horrids that are getting around.. I especially like the front bar setup, in my eyes that is only second best to a T3 front.

Stick some decent laser cut mesh in the grille (top and bottom), and a Ford badge in the middle of the top grille, and you have a winner.

That is a good looking car with not much to do at all to make it a great, unique AUBA. If I had $6k, I'd bid on it!

to be honest thats pretty hot, but change the colour and some bigger rims i think that would set it off.

Surprisingly I don't mind it. BF front bar would suit it better though.

T-series kit would look far better though than the BAGT kit

It doesn't look bad at all. The grill looks cheap though, and maybe if the headlights were T series style.

I agree, more noticable mesh in both and a Ford badge to fill up the top one, then some bigger wheels and it wouldn't be too bad.

I really like that... If I didnt have an XR6 and the choice of the XR50 front bar id be doing exactly that to a stocko forte or something.

Because side stripes are so much better? All a matter of opinion I guess.

Agree with JC. Some laser cut mesh and I think a decent set of 19" rims, will look great.
