No need to put in VR/VS support panel as the VR front will bolt straight on.

to the vn one? isnt it completely different? the driving lens surrounds are different? isnt the bumper bar support entirely different aswell? needs a new one ne way, mines pulled back into the engine

Ive seen a VN wag with a vr statesman front on it(un cut)This was at a panel shop and he had sold the front and was stripping the car.

The only difference on the radiator support panel is a section on the ends... On the VN's its square and on the VS its more rounded.

I have a full VS front end... Bonnet, headlights, guards, front bumper and reo bar. Quote from my ride:

"Fitting the guards is fairly simple, just you have to cut the radiator support. On the VN's, the radiator support is sqaured off where as the VS is angled on the end... I copied how it is on my VS and cut it like that, so heres a before and after pic of where I cut the radiator support on the Passenger Side of the vehicle:

ahhh i see.. so its just making the support rounder to accomadate the more rounded front guards? here i am thinking its a different support all together.. um with the front bumper support, is it the same as the vn one or flatter to fit a vs bar? if u can tell me besides the obviose what i need to fit the front guards, lights and bar? u have any new pics? i cbf searching cheers brudda

The VS reo bar which is the front bumper support is different yes. That needs to be replaced. Guards are needed and you have to cut like I did in the pics, headlights and indicators.... One of the brackets needs to be cut here as welll otherwise the headlights wont fit on... And as for the bonnet you also need the hinges and the hose for the washer jets runs on the opposite side on a VS, so you will need to remove ur firewall cover and run your hose down the other side and perhaps add more so it reaches the hoses in the bonnet

[Keesh]

so the bar support will just bolt on where the other one does? i need a new radiator support panel anyway, mines too far gone to reserect.. the plastic bar guides on the side are the same?
