    Itll look like arse unless you have matching door trims, and bumper trims..

    On a red VP I once saw, the spats were just drilled into the top lip (to allow for wider wheels)

    not sure how to mount them without the factory brackets... youd have to make something up... you just putting the spats with nothing else?

    you need the change the bumpers, get 6 vp calais/berlina door molds and procure the necessary spats with rear mounting brackets that come with it. the wheel arch spats door molds and bumpers all go together (same design carries right through). while your at it youll be changing the headlights cause the vp bar wont fit a vn grille, then headlights then indicators then guards to suit the indicators lol. those spats work better if you already drive a vp...

    if you dont cosmetically change the vn to vp then the spats on their own will look funny...
    dont sweat the petty... pet the sweaty...

    what you do, is get vn ss door moulds, cut them to side and make a steel bracket, glue the door mould too it and weld the bracket to the car, simple. the moulds on the vp calais are heaps diffrent to the vn ss moulds i would think.
    If you're not driving a manual, you are only steering, not driving
