Hi,

I was just wondering if the lower front grille mesh for the BF XR is the same mesh as the BA or if it is a different shape? I spoke to a guy in Ford's Spare parts shop who had no idea. Could someone please help clarify this?

All the ones on ebay say BA/BF, but i wouldnt trust that, they are clearly a different shape...
Would be nice if someone could confirm this, i wouldnt mind one for my BA...

different shape!

I just purchased my lower mesh grille today for my BF. It is a genuine one apparently made through herrod motorsport, though it does not have the logo in it. I viewed the instllation guide on this website which says to locate the pins in the upper removable plastic strip. The BF grille also has 3 tabs along the bottom which just hang straight down. Do i need to bend these tabs at 90 degrees so that i can use the self tapping screws into the lower bumper?

It would have been nice if these things came with any form of instructions.

Thanks

Brett.

bought mine and it had instructions, may have been a different brand, also came with an xr8 badge
