What front bar is it to suit? as there are 2 different types.

The Gli/Futura is slightly different to the XR/Fairmont/Fairlane one.

Sounds great.

I could be interested in one a little while down the track... How are they held on? Tech screws and sikaflex?

At $180 I will have one. I just bought a boot spoiler off ORSM5LTR and am very happy with it. He told me how good the lip is told me about the pics.
Let me know freight cost ect to Penrith and where to make the payment to.

Any chance of side skirts and rear lip?

will find out the cost of freight & let you know.
if i had the sides & rear i'd help you out, maybe in the future, have to find some to make a mould from.

the buldge on ORSM5LTR's car is a glass buldge put on his original bonnet, should be fine in NSW, if you wanted to make a weekend trip i can do that for you also

Depending on what it will set me back and if I can get another Fairmont bonnet I might just look at that. I have a dint to fix in the original bonnet so that might do it. If i can get another bonnet sometime can I send it down to you?

$180 is for the whole lip, the grey bit in the pics, postage is extra
i think it would fit the futura but not 100% sure, afaik the difference between the gli/futura & xr/fairmont is where it wraps around the sides the xr lip flares up more...



i'm sure someone here could give you a correct answer

If it helps any I am happy to have a few sent to my place in Penrith and people can pick them up from there. Maybe cheaper for everyone if there is a few in one hit. Keep us informed MrLon.
Talk to orsm5ltr he may be able to help you with courier info.

Not a bad job mate. I will want one for the DF LTD if it fits. How much for Werribee/Hoppers Crossing area and would it fit Fairlane/LTD?

It will fit the LWB Mark, they have the same bumper as the Fairmont Ghias of which this spoiler was based on.
