By wheel ark's do you mean "spats" ?

[PaRaDoX]

greeny he means spats, dont fit them to a VN, thats like a VT kit on a VN! wont match the bumpers etc (unless you fit VP calais door mouldings and vp bumpers

but yeah they're held in by a plastic bracket

ok, what about the VQ spat??
is it the same?

[1991_Vn2nV]

The VQ spats are different and only look good on a VQ. They are narrower than the VP spats.

[hakhawk]

vq ones are also longer to cover the dogleg on the statos.

[Keesh]

ive fit them to my vn, the moulds dont line up and they need cutting, heres a pic of my mates one

[Keesh]

heres a pic with my old vp bar on the vn, didnt work out

[Nevyn]

so with some well thought out planning, what would be better to fit to a VN, the VP or the VQ spats?

[1991_Vn2nV]

The VQ spats don't suit the sedans at all.

VP spats would be best, but you'd need VP front and rear bumpers and VP door moulds also.

yer, I have a VP Calais rear bumper...Calais door moulds I have, but not sure if their off a VP or VN. And will be using a VN Group A front bumper. Might just grab both sets of splats and look at them and compere what can be done, then sell the ones I don't use.

[hakhawk]

where does the chrome strip sit on your door moulds? top or bottom? vn is at the top, vp at bottom

[Nevyn]

bugga....the strips r at the top on the door moulds and the same with the guard moulds.....didn't relise there was a difference till now.

[STEALTHY™]

EM90SC has them(VQ Spats) on his VN Calais, and pulled the look of perfectly.

[gooley]

[Nevyn]

the brackets are $14.95 each through Holden dealers

[fu2]

[STEALTHY™]

Hey fu2...I'll get a part number for u tomorrow and post it up.

[Nevyn]

well after talking with the local Holden dealer today it seems there are 182 left hand VP Spat brakets left. Does that mean most VPs have been wacked in the right hand arse end? anyway, the part number is 92041417

[[JUDGE]]

any one have pics of a SS with the spats?
