    Yeah mate, everything bolts up.


    There might be alignment issues if you use a VP bar with VN/VQ headlights. What kit are you planning on putting on?

    You wont be able to use a standard VX SS kit. You may be able to get a fibreglass one, but i've never seen one to suit a VP.

    The SS kit will work, but you may have to trim the middle of the bumper where the grill rests. It will bolt up perfectly tho. And you wont need to change headlights/1/4s.

    I thought you wanted to know if a VN / VP kit would fit a VQ, not a VX kit.....

    Also a VQ is longer, The factory VP SS side skirts won't be long enough. The Series 2 update VQ had side skirts from factory though, didn't it?

    I thought we were just talking fronts.


    All VQs factory side skirts are VN SS style. If you want them like VP SS, you need VR/S Stato ones like i have. But then you need rear to match, and i don't know what your going to do about the numberplate, and then we get into the problem of VQ/N door moulds being different to VP


    VN moulds



    VP Moulds

    I host mine at photobucket, so i can link them as many times as i want.

    You can add them when you make a reply, under where you write your text, it'll say 'manage attachments'. Click that, then browse for the pics you want. Careful there not too big, or they'll take for ever.

    I like the photobucket way better
