Pursuit 250 front lip

[aussiemart]

Hey guys i was thinking of getting the pursuit 250 front bar lip for my au xr8 11 rebel and was just wondering if anybody has fitted one before, how do they attach and is it the full front bar or just the lip?

It comes as just the lip and you need to actually cut up your existing front bar to fit the lip. The genuine Ford one is the same setup, but to buy it as a spare parts item it will come as an entire front bar and cost you somewhere around $3k.

Thanks mate,,will have to think about that one $3 grand geeez...and don't really like the idea of cutting up the front bar.

Thats what put me off it too, I dont want to cut into my front bar either.

even buying a second hand xr front bar, and chopping it up, thus keeping your original, will be cheaper than the 3 grand ford part.

They don't have to cut that much, and once the lip is on, it's one unit. It's not like you'd want to pull the lip off at some stage. I'd get a cheap second hand one, as you'll end up repainting the whole front bar anyway. I had no qualms getting my lip fitted, one of the best things I did on that car.

Why not just do it your existing bar, and if you stuff it right up, then buy a second hand bar - no point spending the extra money until you need to.

You're right JC, I just went ahead and cut my bar. Any halfway capable panel shop should be able to do it.
