Does anyone in Perth know where I would most likely find a factory front bar lip for a 1991 UZZ32?

Or is anyone willing to part with theirs for a reasonable price? :-)

Does it have a front lip now?
If not you will need to change the bar. They are different.

Really Avin, sure looked impossible to me without the flange on the bumper to mate with the lip.

My 32 has probably had a prang in it's life and the new bar is a no lip bar, sure looks like impossible to me.

It only took about half an hour to put it on, You need to remove the inner guards so you can tighten the nuts, but its relatively simple. There are holes there underneath, in the front section, and in the wheel arch for the end ones, but you need to drill a couple on each side where the lumps are (under the turning light section) just under the seam.

by the way it is the same bar, the black bits were stick on and it had a paint job just prior to the lip going on.

Jeff if you cant do it, i will swap mine with lip for a 97+ bar! hahahaha

That silver car is a lip capable front.

Mine is not, see the circled areas, I dont have those lumps anything to attach them to.

Mine is 100% straight around, no flanges no holes, no lumps, nada.

My old bar was like Jeffs' too. I couldn't see any way of getting the lip on without major butchery.

Is that a 94-95 bar, Jeff??

It's missing the horizontal line in the grill opening.

hmm, No.
just take the inner guards off so you can properly tighten the nuts from the inside. And use big washers so it has more to grab onto.

did you just cut that bar out jose and leave the openings revealed? or did you seal where you cut?
looks (looked) good man.

I hate that middle bar, it makes the car look dated.
