GUN-808 Member 251 Member For: 11y 4m 3d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 21/03/15 07:40 AM Share Posted 21/03/15 07:40 AM Hey hopefully someone can help..I want to custom modify a G6ET front bar to accept an XR6T front lower grille..Wondering if anyone can say wether they are the same shape and dimensions and it will accept an aftermarket grille. ??I like the look of the sunken in lower which shows off the cooler a bit better and hides the end tank joins and piping a bit nicer..I will paint the outsides the same silver as the upper grille and maybe leave the centre part black (ill paint it all silver if I dont like it)and also mate the chrome trim around the edge to set it off a bit nicer too..I cant say iv ever seen it done b4 so hopefully someone can shed some light.. cheers..

Sorry mate, it just won't work. Trust me. Just purchase a new front XR bumper. The XR bar folds in towards the intercooler. How are you planning to make the G6 bar do that?

(different headlights too etc to replace)im not sure what part u mean by fold in towards the cooler ? do u mean the centre section between the triangles ?? if so some of the griles come with that section attatched so I can see in the pix.. (see attached pik)the grille is a full round unit yeah ? and the part that folds back over toward the cooler just sits over that section of the plastic grille ?my theory is.. there is a big large large void section behind the grille on a G6 (prob the exact same area without the grille in on an XR bar).. I was thinking the XR grille would fill straight into this part and slot in.. obviously not having the folded over part to sit over the plastic but using it as the flat part ( it will be painted silver )if not a straight bolt in I could use the corner triangle shaped bits and sika them into place into the corners and onto the bar itself. mounting them to the old "ring" of the old grille too with the grille ####'s cut out. then put the chrome section over the join to hide any joining..I just dont wanna spend the $120 and get it home and it wont work.. I appreiciate your advice but id prefer if u were saying Yes it will work lol :Dill also post the desired result im after.. in a few pix.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go park your car next to an XR. You might get a better understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
