There is a mob somewhere putting xr and gt front bars on the standard ba's and retaining the standard headlights, that looked really good and fairly unique maybe someone can remember who?

Was a bit of a stunt for FPV Open Day in 04 or 05 from memory, made by the engineeers in a similar deal to how they made DRIF6.

Loooong gone now though, was only ever a shell, never had any running gear.

ok cool, i like the look of it! the front bar is different etc.

xy351 · 21-05-2007, 04:38 PM

have a look in the show n shine section. you will see alot of good examples of what can be done. don't go overboard as you get into it. i sont know if this has been cleared up but what color is it? i love the ba's how much does a xt goes for these days?

sexyxe · 21-05-2007, 09:41 PM

nooooo...not an xr6 look alike..like many people have said..rims, dark tint and dump it...low stock BA's are smoking!!!
go with a zorst too...be the envy of your already envious (spelling) mates

IMO that is

nikki766 · 22-05-2007, 04:26 PM

yeah im thinking the xr6 look alike idea has been flushed so yeah i think all i will do is just dump it, put some nice rims on, dark tint put a catback exhust on it.
just gotta find some lowerd springs to put on it as i would like to do that with in the next month or so....so if anyone out there knows of anyone selling some springs just get them to pm me

thanks for your time guys

cheers

xy351 · 22-05-2007, 04:54 PM

also keep having a look in the sales yard... and make sure you post pics. goodluck

eb2fairmont · 22-05-2007, 05:03 PM

I hate holden going on about their V6. Now every loon calls a six cylinder a V6.

Remeber Nikki, there's a reason why BMW keep thier straight six design..it's balanced and runs smoother. V6's are out of balance by design and need some nifty engineering to solve the issues.

Just lower your BA and do the suspension and fits some nice mags. It'll look good.

Here is a pic of my BA ute XL V8

Base model rubber mats & all.

Outside lowered, no badges and fairlane front lights grill bumper chrome strips.

Very little invested $200 for the grille, IMO looks sharp and I never see another

just an idea

Jesk · 22-05-2007, 07:49 PM

man that looks sweet as on the ute i really like it, so that only cost you $200 to do did it?

Elks · 22-05-2007, 09:10 PM

No, it cost a litte more , but the grill is $200. It fits where a std grill comes out. I believe a fairmont grille with a chrome surround is even cheaper

You can swap the headlights Fairlane / Fairmont are full chrome XT/XR/Ghia are black & chrome. (the dealer swapped these from a fairmont without charge as he didn't even realise they were different, which means, somewhere out there there is a Fairmont with black lights.)

The mirror caps are fairlane ghia and are $85 a pair. I can't believe I dont see more of these.

The lower turning lights were about $75 and the wiring is already there.

All up the dealer charged me $370 think.

So it looked good then I scratched the bumper so I fiited the lower bumper section and the chrome strips all up about a $1100 inluding paint. The bumper is barely noticible and you wouldn't bother except I had to buy one anyway.

Its also lowered $800

and debadged except for the V* badge of course $0

Cheered up an XL SE pack for not a lot of cash. Notice I still run std 16 x 6.5 rims as I've spebnt enough on tyres for the TS to last a lifetime.

nikki766 · 22-05-2007, 10:26 PM

looks sweet thanks heaps for the pic...
i like your ideas if you have any more let me know
thanks
