    Default Repair VN or go VS front end???

    Ok I had an accident in my VN and the lady drove off and without her rego insurance wont cover me... So heres my 2 choices:

    1.) Repair the VN (front bar is stuffed, headlight assembly needs replacing and guard is dented bad but repairable)...So back to normal...

    2.) Do a VS front end conversion... VS bonnet, VS guards with my VZ SS vents in them and a VY clubby front bar to suit a VS?

    I prefer the VS guards, bonnet and headlights as the VN ones are too flat... And I think they suit the VY front more... But will they suit the car? The middle section of a VN is the same as VS, so only the rear would look different so it SHOULD flow I think?

    Just after some opinions and ideas?

    i say give it a go, might as well. you dont see vns with a vs front very often, and with a vy kit aswell.

    Corey/VK_308, That'll cost me more tho man, cause i'd have to modify my current bonnet and guards...I'd love VZ headlights though.

    Cheers for the opinions guys

    Should be getting around with damage on the drivers side of the car towards the back (near the rear wheel arch)

    I'd be going the VS front end with a VS front bar. I don't know what it is but VY kits just don't look right on VN's.

    Well I was thinking VZ Clubby front... But a.) nowhere in Adelaide seems to do them for VN-VS and b.) I couldnt do the two tone...

    Cause of the rest of my kit, It would waste it if I didnt replace the front bar with a VX/VY/VZ one in my opinion

    2.) Do a VS front end conversion... VS bonnet, VS guards with my VZ SS vents in them and a VY clubby front bar to suit a VS?


    [QUOTE]

    I have seen this conversion done onto the VN looks very miss matched
    i would stick to the VN front

    well, if its already being called rice, putting a vs front isnt going to change the opinion of people who dont like it.

    i say go for it, worst comes to worst, you dont like it yourself, so sell the bumper and panels, and stick a vn front back on!!
