Default Scuff Plates

I was wondering if someone would be able to answer a question for me. I'm looking at some scuff plates to suit BA/BF and was always under the impression that BA/BF were they same as all the AU's. I emailed him to ask, and said they wont fit.


I prefer these to the other ones out there so any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Rosco

Yeah they do fit. I have them on my car. The only thing you may have to do is when you take off yours, remove one of the little white plastic things that you screw them into towards the back of the car. The BA ones have a clip there instead of a screw.

BA fronts will fit an AU, the rears won't.
There's plenty of people on here who've done this, so they can do as you want to do and put the nice alloy inserts in.
Cheers, Matt.

Cheers guys, I'll probably order a set tomorrow. Just want to make sure I can order the alloy insert he has in the fronts for the back. Might not even worry about the back, considering they are a smaller scuff plate.
