    Default What do youse think?

    Hey all

    Im new on this site and very happy i found it

    Well i got my vn about a month ago after waiting ages for it to get resprayed

    Its completely stock apart from the hot house green paintwork, cheaply lowered and a pod

    Im getting a vn/vp group a grille and thinking of getting vp calais taillights as well as a vn ss rear wing and possibly some side skirts. I want 18'' wheels, vn calais interior and as for engine mods CAI, pacemakers with 2 1/2 or 2 1/4 exhaust, stereo amp etc

    Oh and i know the grey grille is shit i purposely did not paint it

    What do youse all think for any possible future mods or whatever every opinion is welcome

    Hey there.. Looks nice.. I wish my paint was that good .. Not a big fan of green tho... Will look wicked with a kit and rims.. When I went from stockies to rims on mine I was amazed with the difference... Can't really offer to many performance suggestions as I am new to modding a VN also ...
    I spend too much money on my cars & bike

    I was looking at doing my VN in Hothouse Green, the colour really suits the car.. I'm looking at putting a group A kit on mine tho, with a custom grill (asuming I can find the manufacturor). Nice job all round, and I agree with Phoenix21, the gray grill works well

    I rekon if you slap a calais grille in there, it wouldn't look half bad. I don't mind a shiny silver. If you got chrome rims, the calais grille would go -really- nicely. Helps break up the green, too. I -really- like the colour, though. And the black window gutters. Spankin' good. I wish I could afford a respray ^^

    The cops are gonna love you when you're finished with that ride ^^

    Future mods? Here's some of my favorites, in roughly incorrect order from cheapest to most expensive:

    - Grind back the throttle-stopper to 100% (DIY)
    - Remove the bellmouth if the car has one (DIY)
    - Buy a level 2 dash from the wreckers, so you have a tacho (DIY)
    - High-flow air filter, and maybe a cai (nobody can decide whether the cai actually helps, or if a pod would perform better than a panel filter. Personally, I just cut a hole in the stock airbox trunk to let more air in.) (DIY)
    - Cat-back exhaust (so many debates on what type to get, and how much to spend.)
    - Extractors
    - Rockers and cams
    - Port/Polish
    - Shift kit
    - New chip and a good tune-up
    - Good higher-ratio LSD
    - Trash the lot and drop in a V8
    - Supercharge the V8
    - Sell it and buy a Porsche
