Wheel spats

[mr calais 5.0]

Just wondering if the wheel spats from a vp,vq fit on the vn Calais and does it look any good? Also how do they fit on as well.. Any pics from those who have them on?

VQ spats will ahve to be shortened but will fit, and also work with the shape of the VN bumper. VP calais ones will also fit, but will be different to the bumper so you will need a VP bumper to match the spats.

and to my knowledge, they require certain brackets that i know nothing about.

Cool thanks for the quick reply.. That helps my search a bit more

iirc the vq spats should fit straight on, but i did fit these back in 1991 to a vn calais, yes there was a bracket that i had to weld on but i cant remember how.

Might have to google a bit more to see how the fit on or stalk a vp/vq in a carpark

On a Vn the vp calais spats dont quiet line up perfect, have slight gap on teh top side from the slight curve on the guard.

VQ will not fit on a sedan, only wagons as they have the longer wheelbase.

How they fit there is a bracket that bolts to the guard, then the spats bolts to the bracket.

Also VN will have different trim thingys on the doors to what is moulded into the VP spats, so to match u need the door trim moulds to match

so no real point in doing this i spoze..

it depends on how much stuffing around u are prepared to do.

Ive seen one vn calais with spats, with standard door moulds n the spats stood out soo much due to not matching the line down the side of the car.

Aswell as the slight gap at the top of the spat.

Look pimpin tho with a nice dumpage, nothing beats tucking to the top of hte rim.

Also spats are pretty hard to find with the brackets

You could take door moulds off, then bog up the lines thru the spats making them hella flush n would match

Ive got the mounting gear at home, not looking to sell but if you want I can take a few pics incase you're wanting to fab some up..

Picked up VP berlina moulds, Calais spats and mounting brackets for $60
