At least XT and G6/G6E bumpers are identical now though .... not like in the first incarnation of FG where XT was only share with base ute and R6 only.

The dont last a week in the taxis, when they start to sag I wire them up by lifting the undertray so the gap looks about right.
Oops just noticed you dont have an undertray. |

Before I noticed anything strange I had removed all the stuff inside wheel arches and covered everything in several coats of sound deadening bitumin paint, also fitted factory fog/driving lights then made metal plate to fit inside the black grill to secure the number plate and LED light bar.
Then I thought stuff that looks rough finish and realised parts were broken and now cannot be repaired.

New XT FG2 Bumper genuine is around $430 from Ford, for a $100 more I would go genuine, then you know everything will fit right.
FYI Part number for the bar alone is BR2Z 17C831 AAW |

well now loaded into ute without cardboard box and headed for home.
This morning Iam looking at it and thinking....have I been ripped off? Is this genuine or aftermarket sold by Ford dealer? Is there a way I cannot see any numbers or markings on it, mind you 38* so didnt spend long outside, but $330 aftermarket seller and $470 Ford dealer ????

Wouldn't be the first time a dealer has sold an aftermarket component and not been completely honest about it.....
I bought a pair of "OEM genuine" engine mounts from a dealer on eBay. Proudly claimed them as genuine, and noted to only buy genuine parts from them. Instant taxi whine in 1st, 2nd & 3rd. Had to put the old ones back in, it was that bad. Bought another genuine set from another dealer on eBay, and they actually had Ford stickers on them, and a barcode - unlike the first "genuine" set I bought. These were just as quiet as the originals. |
