Yeah i can get those front bars made for but they are expensive as they have to be made from an original bar. So you would either have to ship yours up here or purchase on up here

if you're in the eastern suburbs i'd recommend the guys i used to fit my sideskirts & grill.
they're down the road from my work.

Popes Road Smash Repairs & Body Works
44 Popes Rd Keysborough VIC 3173
ph: (03) 9798 5980

the front bar you've shown is a pr!ck to get,
will be hard to find and $$$ if you do.

Mel_star_1 from S.A. has one...
...if you ask her really nicely she might tell you,
or then again she may prefer to keep it a secret

p.s. welcome to the club dude,
always good to see a new vic member

How much is expensive Simon. If I was to provide a facelift bar, how much?

do u know what actually has to be done to make it, im geting it done by a guy in sydney who was never done it before. By looking at it, its just cutting the middle bar out and moulding the edges of the skirt into the stock bumper? The only thing im not sure about is will there be holes here that will need to be filled?

???

this should be an easy job

I think it's more the issue of getting the fiberglass of the lip to mould cleanly with the plastic of the stock bar that where things get expensive.

he reckons he can do that no probs but he also thinks that the moulds are going to break and crack after time from vibration

I thought that was only a problem with cheaper Fibreglass kits, if the glass is thick enough shouldn't this be avoided or do all finbreglass kits do this?

I'm not sure tippin9 someone with more bodykit experience would have to help you there, I might even be talking crap

, Simon, am I right with any of this?
