Look For in Adelaide

[HJ XX7]

mine has a full length bar that has been shortened, cut and welded each side of the number plate bracket, where the black vertical tape strip is.. I was going to change it back to bumperettes but not fussed either way...

I reckon they look OK on dark coloured cars but just get lost in lighter coloured cars. Something to do with contrasting colours I think.

Just thinking outside the square....

The following share the same rear quarter styles:
All HQ;
HJ-HZ ute, van, coupe & statesman;
WB ute and van.

These also share a rear quarter style:
HJ-HZ sedan and wagon;
WB Statesman.

Just thinking that possibly the HJ-HZ wagon rear bars stick out so far as the quarters are different in the lower area. Do HQ wagon bumpers stick out so far when used on a ute or van? Possibly they tuck in better as the HQ station wagon shares the same quarter shape with all HQ-WB utes and vans???

I think that you are onto something, i think that i remember someone putting a wagon quarter onto a van to shorten it up, for looks. I think the van was called phenoix.. gun metal grey show car.. correct me if I'm wrong.

i know the owner of phenoix. and thats what he has done. wagon rear quarters and shortened the bar about 2 inches. i know a guy who has a HQ wagon bar on a HQ van. it sits the same as JXZ bars. it just touches the body about an inch infront of the bumperette cut out. the best bar i have seen is a WB statesman rear bar if you dont want to cut up anything. it still doesnt match the bumperette cut out but sit about 20mm out from the body and follows the van body very well.

like i said back one page...all the bars are the same..sedan and wagon so a wb statesman bar will sit the same as any other bar unless you cut it and mod the quarters..
