Default AU Falcon Rear Bars

Im just after some info on AU falcon Rear Bars... mainly because i have a AU3 with a T2 TS50 body kit and the rear bar doesn't line up with the plastic guard in the wheel arches

i also found that AWC/Fibre Sport say that the S1 XR Rear Lip will not fit a series 2 or 3...

so what im thinking is that AU1 have a different rear bar and because the T series exterior didnt really change between T1 and T2 that i will need to get AU1 rear wheel arch gaurds...?

also when i fitted the T Series rear it had an extra locator on each side between the two bolts... but im thinking that this might be just a T Series thing...

I'm not 100% sure on it but I think the AU1 and AU2 rear bars are different - the AU1 is more rounded and the AU2 is squared up a bit. If so, the T series won't be any different as their bars are still based on the equivalent one for that series.

AU1 rear bumpers are different to AU2 rear bumpers.

so the AU 1 rear skirt will not fit an AU 2 rear bumper, and an AU2 rear skirt will not fit an AU 1 rear bumper.



what series is your car? i would suggest maybe grabbing a inner wheel guard from an AU1 to compare to yours if S2/3 or vice versa to get it to suit the T rear bar.
