Default Bodykit idea XR50 with pursuit front

Hey All,

Would the following bodykit parts look ok together?

XR50 rear bar and side skirts
PURSUIT 250 FRONT SPOILER LIP

Mix and matching bodykits dosn't work, the lines never flow right.

Pursuit lip is meant to go with the T3 side skirts, the S3 Pursuit ute side skirts are pretty much the same shape.

I've got the pursuit lip with the Rebel/Havoc/S3XR rear and sides, and while it's not a perfect match like the T3 stuff, it still looks good.

It's an addon part only, being aftermarket, which means you have to cut sections of your front bar to fit it. The dodgy job the spray shop did on fitting my front bar, managed to wedge it on, glue it and screw it :

Anyway, if you can get a genuine 250 front bar, the lip is part of the bar. Its one mould.

If you want other pics, can email you some. Just email at dwaynewoodhosue@ozemail.com.au and I'll reply with some pics.

Are you sure. I'm sure when Hoops took his front bar of his Pursuit, I had a look at it and it's all 1 peice. I've had people say the same thing that its all one peice. I'll check out Marty's 250 next time I see it.

The pursuit front looks better than the XR50 front. The indicators are too close to the joins on the XR50 bar, and they should have made it with that inlay strip filled in to make it look smoother.

This is what I thought. Any chances you can a pic of the inside of the bar. Just to kill my curiosity.

I'd have to say after seeing both the P250 and the XR50 ... the XR50 is a much nicer looking bar indeed ... should have been standard from Ford in the first place.

I'm biased the opposite way (obviously!) I think the Pursuit bar looks better, as Glenn said, the XR50 does look a little busy and odd where the indicators are, but opinions are like rear ends, we've all got one. The XR50 bar was still well done though.

Some prefer the S1 XR bar + chin, go figure.

Busy is my middle name. : This is why I went the stripes. An interesting point thou, when i had the P250 lip, I thought it was spot on. But as soon as I put on the XR50, I thought it needed something else to bulk it up a little as through the middle of the car, it looked like needed a little something extra. I thought a Bulge would do the trick, but It didn't. Then I went the stripes.

I'm a fan of your stripes Bucky and the whole combo looks great. I'd go with stripes myself, but they wouldn't go with my bonnet vents or my sunroof.
