VZ Gaurd Indicator Flutes on VR-VS have they been done before??

[Benji_36]

hey all

just got a question,

I have toyed with the idea of doing VZ Guard Flutes on my VR Stato,

but havnt seen it done, and don't kno if there any problems with wiring old indicators etc.. and what they look like as well..

so if ya have any info post up, n some pics would be great as well.

cheers

i saw some on an exec and they looked **** even with the kit the guy had on it.
a stato on the other hand might be able to pull it off
i suggest getting yourself another guard and hacking that up , get one of your mates to hold it up to the car as you do with wheels at the wheel shop and see how it looks before you hack your guards.

good luck

ye im gettn my mate to bring round the flutes 2morro and im going to hold them against my stato and have a sus, then try find a cooner guard n go from there...

but just interested what ppl think... and ye

i saw a set of VZ flutes on a VR/S ute. the guy obviously did a home job and it was fked. trained monkeys could do better! he didnt finish them flush, they sat out about 10mm and had a whole tube of no-more-gaps around the edge. he wasted a perfectly good set of flutes and 2 gaurds.

oh k fair enough, but if they were done properly could of they done the job>

I seen on ebay before that you can get cut out plates that you weld onto the back of the guard so the VZ flutes just bolt straight onto them.

Basically you cut the hole to the same size as the flutes, weld these plates on the inside, then just clip the flutes to the plates.

Ill have a look for ya

speaking of the devil what about these?

VR-VS GUARDS WITH VZ FLUTES [PAIR]

seen a gold vs stato with the vz guard flutes on it looked pretty bloody good actually! but it looked like they had been fitted by a proffesional panel beater not a back yard bodgy job!

[Troy711]

steve santos (of twin turbo walkinshaw fame) has them on his BA tonner

[Benji_36]

if ya have any pics of other vr-vs statos preferable can ya please post them up..

Sticker or painted on?

Monumentous occasion troy!

[Benji_36]

oh yeah true, I suppose you could always get the pinstripe carried threw. If its just a single line it shouldnt be that hard for a signwriter to make up

[ashbox]

have a look at vn2nv's car he has them on the side of his, i don't personally like thme but if you do go for it, there is nothing wrong with being diff, just get them fitted professionally.

Looking at that picture from egay. I must say they look shocking. The guaurds on the VR/S just arent big enough to pull them off. I dont think a stato will be much different.

But hey if its your thing then go for it, but please for the love of god get it done properlly...otherwise i will send someone over to confiscate your stato. Ive seen the job done half arsed and its not pretty. Do it right or dont do it all as the saying goes.
