VP Calais Spats

[Cobez]

Would there be any chance that Holden spare parts still stock original VP Calais wheel arch spats?

vp is too old man try ebay or a wreckers no go thru gmh.

[Cobez]

Hmm i thought they might have, because i purchased a brand new genuine plastic VP GTS grille from a Holden spare parts division. Damn.

Through GMH?

[1991_Vn2nV]

He said "no go through GMH".

VN-VS stuff like that is obsolete now man. Its just a matter of if they have any NOS left which most of the time they dont now.

[Cobez]

Oh sorry, read that wrong, i thought he meant "oh wait, nah go through GMH instead" lol. There are a few wreckers around Melbourne wrecking VP calais, might have to check em out and see if they still have the spats.

[1991_Vn2nV]

Still worth asking at Holdens though man.

But at a wreckers you can get the peice they attach to etc. as well

mate of mine just bought some off ebay, NOS for i think 80 the pair, worth a look into maybe also?

Found some at a wreckers down here in Melb. Mint condition off a VP calais, $60 for the set.

When you get your guards rolled, they roll the lip inwards so it's tucked up inside the guard don't they?

Jusr realised when i had a good look, my guards are already rolled, so i can't fit the wheel arch spats. The plate needs to bolt up to the lip that's already rolled. Gay.

[1991_Vn2nV]

Make some brackets yourself man that attach to inside top of the wheel well (where the guards are rolled up).... And weld it or use some strong sticky stuff.

Not hard to get a better fit than Holden did either

[Emackulation]

Yeah I agree with Dylan, put em on , im sure there is a way.

[Cobez]

Doesn't matter, couldn't be assed going to pick them up anyways. Too hot down here in Melbourne.

[1991_Vn2nV]

Come to adelaide if you wanna know what hot is at the moment

[azkwazere]

pffft. Unzip my pants if you want to know what hot is!

aZk.

I rang our local Holden dealer about this very part the other day.

No longer available.


Tried Amcap in Perth too but they gave me the "Obsolete part" as well.
