Front Fender Covers with Vents & Flute Pressings for FORD FALCON XA GT

Replacement front fender covers with vent and flute pressings for Ford Falcon XA GT models. Designed to restore the distinctive vented appearance of the XA GT front guards, these panels are ideal for repairing damaged, rusted or previously modified fender sections.

Installation Notes:

Before installation, inspect the existing front guards to determine the extent of any rust, accident damage or previous repairs.

Check the condition of the surrounding metal, particularly around the vent openings, guard edges and areas where moisture may have collected.

Remove any damaged or corroded metal that cannot be repaired while retaining sufficient sound material for the replacement panel to be fitted securely.

Before cutting the original guard, compare the replacement fender cover with the existing panel to confirm the correct dimensions, shape, vent position and flute arrangement.

Measure and mark the intended fitting position carefully. Where possible, use reference measurements from an original XA GT guard to help maintain the correct placement and appearance.

Check the surrounding panel alignment, including the bonnet, front doors and adjacent body panels, before carrying out permanent repairs.

Trial fit the replacement panel and check that the vent and flute pressings align correctly with the surrounding guard contours.

Depending on the condition of the original guard and the replacement panel design, trimming, shaping or minor adjustments may be required to achieve the correct fit.

Once the replacement section is correctly positioned, secure it using an appropriate automotive panel repair method suited to the material and construction of the components.

Check the panel alignment throughout installation to avoid distortion and ensure the replacement section follows the original guard profile.

After fitting, finish the repaired area as required, including metal finishing, corrosion protection, surface preparation, priming and painting.

Ensure any exposed metal, joins and rear surfaces are adequately protected against corrosion before the guard is reassembled.

Installation Tip: When repairing XA GT front guards, check the positioning and spacing of the vent and flute pressings before permanently fitting the replacement sections. Even small differences in alignment can affect the finished appearance of the front guard, particularly when comparing the left and right sides.
