For a Fibreglass front bar you're looking at about $700, then fit and paint, whilst a genuine one would cost you a few grand at least. I have a fibreglass front bar and it's good for the money spent.Howsee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your probably looking 12-1500 painted and fitted for one so still not cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glass ones dont fit that well though. I picked up a BA typhoon genuine bar off ebay for 350, I was the only bidder!!!! I got my glass bar for my xt for 175 bucks from spoilertek.CheersSteve Edited 03/08/09 12:23 PM by FPV_Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avi8R Donating Members 27 Member For: 15y 1m 23d Gender: Male Posted 09/08/09 06:47 AM Share Posted 09/08/09 06:47 AM Sometimes on ebay you can score a whole new lower kit for between 700-800 plus delivery. that's Fiberglass and spoiler extra. Avoid buying a badly damaged genuine one cause some of these suckers can be hard to repair and break in the same spot. Why not get the XR8 bonnet and spend rest of the money under the hood.
