Brandons VN

[BrandonLee]

Gday guys,new to the forum.
just picked myself up a VN,(it was filthy,barely anything worked-including the handbrake,the interior was falling apart,so it gave me a good excuse to do the interior up real nice)it had a complete engine rebuild 50,000kms ago.
don't know a whole heap about holdens,so was just wondering if anyone could help me identify the bodykit that is on this one?

VR HSV style side skirt, supercar wing, standard rear bumper and can not see the front

[BrandonLee]

thanks man,i will upload some more pictures when i get to a faster connection,this one took about 20 mins.

[Krisp]

better pictures would help, front and rear shots. i would say vr vs clubsport skirts, possible the same style front bar and the same style wing, but the rear bar looks like a normal vn one

[BrandonLee]

ok guys,heres some more pics

[ducker85]

fake VP senator front bumper and possibly VN SS skirts rear mate

[BrandonLee]

thanks for that mate

well this is how the interior was when i bought it *shudders*




and this is after a bit of work to it,still going to retrim the the door carpet in red leather and do a few more minor things

Vp executive rear bar vp senator front bar and vr vs clubsport skirts and i think vr clubsport wing sv3800 grill. Needs a mexican taco cluster.

[hi_ryder]

id get vn front band back bars on it, and ditch that grille too. could even do black vn bars, would look smick. oh and ditch the ski racks...

[HSV5L]

Black vn bars ftw i would leave the grill go for the bt1 look with silver stockers and centre caps and cop chip :P

[ducker85]

Vp executive rear bar.

its got a 3 piece lip kit on it so it has to be VN SS kit (same as clubsport too) possibly clubsport because of the way the number plate light is, definalty not a VP bar I've never seen the light on a VP before because VPs have the number plate light in the tail light garnish where I can't see it on the VN garnish

[Krisp]

that did it set you back?

its a vn with a vp bar on it. all the did was cut a hole and put the vn number plate light on it. otherwise you have to use a vp garnish and rewire that bish....

Agreed, also VP is a single piece, VN 3 piece

[HSV5L]

That sounds right. I was looking at the rear bar mould it looks like vp but its 3 piece with ss lips.

[BrandonLee]

ok so,
vr vs clubsport skirts?
fake VP senator front bumper?
vr clubsport wing?
sv3800 grill?
and you guys agreed on vp rear bar?

also krisp, the car was $1000,new tires/alignment $800,new handbrake $70,new steering wheel $170,new seat covers $80..now just needs a new bearing in the dif,but thats not urgent.....

clubsport#325 forgive me if this is a stupid question,but what is this "cop chip"?

[ducker85]

All 3 of my VP SS rear kit's were 3 piece :/ I think you got it backwards?

The actual BUMPER on a VP is 1 piece and on a VN 3 piece, not the skirt


Cant really comment on the skirts as I dont know, but I would assume 3 piece on VN and VP

Body kit on car is I think,
Rear Bar: VP Calais with the number plate light in it (as mentioned above) - Can tell its a Calais one, from the moldings - and yes, the VP rear bar has a 3 piece skirt on it from factory.
Side Skirts: From the VR/VS style bodykit for the VN's
Front Bar: Smoothed out SV5000, can tell from the crappy bog job on the passenger side. It's not a VP senator bar.
Grille: is a SV3800 style one, to tell if its orginal or not, check and see if its made of fibreglass, if it is, its a copy.
Wing: Is off the "Bathurst" type bodykits you sometimes see VN/VP's with.

Hope this helps, and clears up some confusion.

Nice to see a manual too, good work.

Rear is definitely A VP exec with SS lips.. I have the same rear bar, but on my VP.. Bar itself is 1 piece, SS lips are 3 piece
