The XR50 bar, with rest of the full series 1 tickford kit would be the way to go. Cheapest option, and would look different, especially with no rear spoiler.

If you do decide to get rid of the full series 1 kit, let me know. I'll take the lot for $200 (hope that's cheap enough), but no idea how I'd get it to Canberra - might have to take Bucky on a road trip.

There it goes again, the Canberra connection AKA the Bucky and JC show! Or is that the JC and Bucky show? LOL!

By chicks, he means lady-boys. That's why he has to pull them.

Why not the spolier? It finishes the car! My XR8 without the rear wing would look ordianary IMO.

Got your PM. I think we have a deal. I'm just trying to organise transport of the kit to Canberra - if that can't be done, I will pick up after next week (ie some time after 9 July).

JC · 09-07-2006, 06:28 PM

Body kit arrived safe and sound today, thanks to Janek for picking it up and dropping it off. Front bar and lip are fitted, skirts to go on during the week, but door pods and rear skirt can wait till I fix the cracked skirt.

Excellent car, same colour as my bird. Km's are excellent too, I hope not to hit 87 for quite a few years.
I wouldn't have minded a spare S1 bodykit. Got an unused/unpainted factory original s1 front bar, just need the side skirts and another Bi plane spoiler just in case some ***** hits me up the bum

No worries JC, was a pleasure! Thanks for the rims and saving my butt out there too

I feel so loved and part of a family :P

Like I said on Friday, I was saving my kit, not you! LOL. That's what AFF is for - communal help etc etc.

Here's a pic of the car with kit, and the Advanti RPMs (8" front, 9" rear) - they fill the rear guards out heaps better than the Apaches.
