Lachlanking New Member 4 Member For: 6y 8m 8d Posted 03/08/18 05:41 AM Share Posted 03/08/18 05:41 AM Thinking about replacing my NA Ba xr6 front bumper with an fg style one, already has a boss hood and a bobtail. My mates think its ricey to swap parts between the different models but I think it's tasteful. Honest opinions please Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94154-opinions-on-fg-style-bumper-swap-on-ba-xr6/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if it will line up nicely with xr6 side skirts and looking for honest opinions Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94154-opinions-on-fg-style-bumper-swap-on-ba-xr6/#findComment-1661324 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just needs to be painted differently.

Mebbe Scotty can post some more pics of his car so op can get a better idea of what it looks like. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/94154-opinions-on-fg-style-bumper-swap-on-ba-xr6/#findComment-1661340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
