Not cheap hey. sweet jeebus ... that's a bit steep lol but if it was genuine and new parts that wouldn't surprise me...I laughed when I saw a guy selling a GT Rspec 'bodykit' for $3500 (second hand) and he rekons Ford (or FPV) charge $7500 for it! Ridiculousness....I should have jumped on the second hand genuine GT front and rear bars that were for sale on gumtree couple weeks back for $1200ono...but deals come up all the time anywaysIn terms of front end conversions, I think I've seen a few on the forums, but I have not looked very hard so I would imagine there are quite a few people who have done it (but I would guess most stick to the aftermarket jobbies from ebay?). I think a few GS models do it, and XR6T...I will be looking in to it one day (whenever I finally sort out the go fast mods lol), along with the rear bar and side skirts for my sedan Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88335-armies-fg-xr6t-with-fpv-front-end/page/2/#findComment-1474484 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen pretty much every FPV listed part sold on eBay in the last year haha and there's been a few good bargains and some retards wanting a mint for damaged goods, as with everything you just have to know your product hey!

Very nice ute you have there!I'm a Sparky by trade, and hope to fit out an XR6 ute as a work vehicle, similar to this too.What brand of canopy is that? Is it a steel/alumimium one?

Armie New Member 12 Member For: 12y 6m 12d Posted 30/03/15 08:19 AM Author Share Posted 30/03/15 08:19 AM Yeah just sold it, realised it was more than I needed for work so moved it on. Ah off the top of my head the parts needed are - headlights, front bar, sill extension, top grill, grill surround, grill mounting bracket, bottom grill (maybe) side meshes for down the bottom, F6 badge, and F6 badge surround. Took me a good 18 months to find some parts like the sill extension, was kind of fun though for a while!

Part number is BAFT17C831A.Just for a piece of plastic... bloody expensive!That's for a BF. Not sure what the FG RRP is.
