in ur windscreen glass, there a whole heapo of numbers etc , and you will see,,, xxvpxxxx or xxvrxxxxxx

VP's have a round holden badge/logo on the bonnet, where Vn's dont

[lilkel]

VP's have little indicators on the front gaurds VN's dont,VP's have a red plastic garnish across the back of the car VN's don't and it will also tell you on the comliance plate what model it is!!!

i always thought that the easiest way to notice the difference was the shape of the indicators beside the headlights.

Thanks for your help guys it doesnt have any blinkers on the side and it is a VG UTE thanks for the help.

Why on earth would you ask if your car is a VN or VP (presumed sedan or wagon) and then tell every one it's a VG ute!!

[motodude78]

Lexx because people say that the VG is a VP and some say that it is a VN and i wasnt sure what it was cause i am buyin parts for it and i dont want to get the wrong parts.

[Lexx]

It's neither. It's a VG Ute. Depending on what parts you want you can go VN or VP. And being a ute you could even go VQ, VR or VS. Comes down to what you're after.

What parts are you buying?


Most parts are interchangeable between VN/VG/VP

The most obvious differences are the headlights/grille/taillights

The VP has the large badge on the bonnet, and the badge on the boot with the lock in the centre.

I'd say you are pretty safe buying parts from either VN or VP... and even the majority of VR/VS parts will fit too (besides cosmetic parts)

ey original i am actually shopping for a new font bumper for it and when the company asks for whatmodel it is and i say VG they dont know what the heell i am talking about and then they ask what model it is and they say that Both the VN and VP are very similar but if it a VP there has to be a few mods done to the bumper to fit lights or something like that properly so i need to know exactly what the front is on my car either it is a VN or a VP i dont know?

The VP and VN front bars look totally different so i cant see the problem with it...

[motodude78]

Hey mate thats the thing i dont know the diffrenece between the two and i all i asked for is what model it is either it is more like a VN or VP and since it doesnt have side blinkers on the front gaurd bhind the wheel arch i am guessing that it is a VN.
