rear BA scuffs on AU

S3SR · 28-05-2006, 11:06 PM

as the title suggests i want to know if the rear passenger BA scuffs will fit on the AU as does the front ones?

has anyone done this?
and does anyone no if i can fit technically?

also this is a bit much but will the sunglass holder from a BA fit the AU with maybe some hard foam to fill the gap or the roof and also on the technical diagrams on this site for the AUIII interior the sunglasses holder is that of the BA unless im a dumb as i m blind

the BA one looks alot better then the AU

thanks

I think they take more fiddling around because of the placement holes etc, but I could be wrong.

Someone on aufalcon.com had a workshop thread on this if I remember correctly.

fronts fit. rears dont. and as far as i know, they just dont fit. i dont see the point in trying to make them either. the rear AU scuffs look fine anyway *shrug*

ba scuff plates on the rear are very similar to au ones.. i don't know why you would want to "upgrade" to them..

The colour I think is the main reason people do it. Also, they can have a few different badges inserted as an option.

Not on the rear they can't. the scuff plate inserts are for the front only

No they don't.

As already mentioned the rears don't however, there is enough of a gap between the bottom of the door and the rear scuff to 'glue' a scuff plate insert on it's own over the top, and it still looks factory.

ive put the xrplates into my s3 au by just grinding 2 of the ridges off the original ones(front and back)looks perfect and at least has the grain and colour as the ba are a lot different in feel and shape.ill try and get some pics on wend and post them .a little bit of work but a lot of reward took about an hour to do the 4

Forget the scuffs, I want your leather seats! You've probably got a leather steering wheel, and gear selector, and probably a leather boot on the hand brake lever! You do don't you! Sniff, sniff!

The guy at ford told me the rear BA scuffs are longer than the Au ones.I solved the prob by ordering the dark charcoal BA fronts and the Dark charcoal Au rears!!!
