Hi guys,
Just joined up and thought i would say hi to all. I currently own a BA XR6 Turbo and recently bought a EL Gli that I would like to look like my EL XR6 Tickford that I used to own. Now, I firstly would like to get rid of the gli front bar and get a el xr6 front bar as they look heaps better. The question is, besides getting the actual front bar, lights, indicators and a bonnet, is there anything else required or that needs changing in order to fit the gear? I will post up pics of both rides in a few days... cheers. |

The GLi Bonnet will fit. So with the headlights, indicators and front bar thats it, allows you more time to find an original XR Bonnet.

You WILL need a new bonnet, the EL GLI bonnet does NOT suit the XR front. An EF GLI bonnet will suit though

Yeah your right, I did not notice he said he had a EL because SWC already said his bonnet will fit. But yes only EF gli and EF futura bonnets will suit the XR Bars on the exception of a XR bonnet, but they are just a gli bonnet with vents anyway

Yes sorry, I didn't pick up on the EL, EF bonnet will fit not EL, Still EF bonnet is a lot cheaper and easier to get than a XR Bonnet.

Thx for the reply's and warm welcome.
I should have the conversion done in the coming weeks, (cant wait) and will post up pics when ready. I actually traded in my heritage green el xr6 that i used to own for my ba xr6 turbo (about 6 years ago now) and given that im not used to a gli look gives me more reason to under go these mods...lol cheers. |

Sorry guys one more thing, I know you have to change the reo bar when coverting to a el xr6 bar from a ef falcon, but do the el gli's reo bar need to be changed over aswell or are they the same as the el xr6 bar?
thx |
