    Post VS FRONT bumper on VN?

    Hi anyone who has any experience with Frankenstein cars please help, there are many people with VN's tired of they're poxy stock bumper unpainted and all,

    I can get a VS FRONT bumper cheap and i wish to fit one to my VN.

    The question is can it be done?, are the mounting types the same?, are the mounting dimensions the same?

    also anyone with a VN with a VS FRONT bumper on it can u post any pics please ;D

    anythings possible but your going to have to cut the grille section out and fibreglass it flat to fit the vn grille too much stuffing around in my opinion.
    edit: probably easier to the whole front if that fits..

    Fair enough , the opinions of the public are detering me from doing so, so.... no i wont put on a VS bumper but this pic of the green ute looks alright so maybe ima get body kit similar... thnx any way for your opinions.

    Just one thing does the vs bumper fit (excluding the uppergrille) on a vn subframe, if so then artwork is only needed, and no bolting mods?

    coz the vn and vs ute have virtually the same outershell true?

    Have a look at a VN then a VS. Different guards, bonnet and lights..... It is possible but a little bit of customising is needed from memory. Search and you will see no doubt some one else has done it.
