    Default Converting VT front end to VY???

    i had a fiberglass vy kit suited for vt installed onto my car about 4 months ago. the back and sides are perfect fit and look great, but the front just dosnt look right, and i have bottom out on a few things and has a couple of small cracks in it, i dont want to put another fiberglass front end on because i would imagine i would be back were i started

    so i was wondering if it is possible to do a full front end conversion so that i have the plastic genuine vy front bar, i would assume i would need new guards and lights, is it possible to do and is there anythings else i have to do or change.

    Guards, lights, bonnet, some wiring for headlights maybe and front bar re-enforcement. You may have to cut some brackets, make some others, cut part of the radiator support panel. That'd be it though.

    well i have a front bar re-enforcment cause i got the vy fiberglass one on there now, all the rest seems simple enough, so the vt bonnet wont work with it, cause it looks alright with the fibergalss vy front end, but i dont know how diffrent it will be after the conversion

    vt bonnet will not work on a vy front, different shape.

    you need the following

    - 2 vy front guards
    - vy bonnet
    - vy bar re inforcement (fibreglass one is illegal btw)
    - vy front bar
    - pair of vy headlights
    - you need to modify the loom to fit the headlights
    - you also need the teh front plastic panels bellow the windscreen , vy has the washer nozzles in the plastic covers, where as vt has them on the bonnet, and you will need the piping to suit as well.
    - vy front bar clips will be needed as well


    why on earth you would want to have a round vt back with a square vy front amazes me though , ive seen them done, and they look terrible.


    leave the vt front, the rounded edges look awsome.
