    Default VP Bodykit (Is It Possible?)

    Hi there, new to all the car stuff and I was just wondering, is it possible to get a VS bodykit made up to fit a VP berlina?
    In Perth somewhere if there is?
    Thanks.

    I wouldn't think so, without enough fibreglass work to have built the kit from scratch. The lips on the VP/VN have a much more defined turn toward the sides, whereas the VR/VS gently curves around in a graceful (and less attractive ) swoop.

    Oh, he's talking about complete kits? Not lips?

    In that case, for the good of humanity, lie, and say it can't be done

    side skirts fit straight up

    front and rear can be made to fit with quite a bit of work, it would be cheaper, quicker and easier to buy a kit to suit a vp.

    ditch the altezzas at the back, remove the ugly black rubber strips, paint the ugly grey window surrounds in a nice matt black, remove all the badges (except the holden logos) and your car will look a million bucks

    Yeah, you'll be much happier in the long run if you stick with a VN/VP body kit of some form. Don't cross-breed, it always ends in tears (and you destroy any remaining resale value of an already worthless car).

    I think if you're going to run altezzas at the back, you have to either colour-code the garnish to the colour of the car, remove the garnish altogether, or... no, those are your only two options The white lights next to the red garnish just doesn't work, I think you'll agree

    But I think without the black logs, without the badges, and with a colour-coded garnish, your car could be on its way to greatness
