    Default what kit is this?

    hey guys

    would someone be able to tell me what kit this is
    i seen it in a thread in the SA section but the thread is closed
    i want to get the vp calais spats for my vp and want to know what kit this is because it suits the spats well (im interested in getting the spats and a kit to suit them)
    i have the sv5000 front n rear bar but i dont like them and i dont think the spats will suit.
    and will my door moulds on my executive suit the spats if i get the spats sprayed so you cant see the chrome and get my door moulds sprayed the same colour as the car and spats

    thanks

    ok thanks mate, yeah i thought it had a mix of vn/vp parts, makes for a pretty cool look tho.
    do you know if the spats all come stock with a chrome strip and the one pictured has had it removed or painted?
    coz all the ones ive seen have a chrome strip
    and what are the skirts? le did you say?

    yeah, thanks mate.
    that mounting job on the bobtail kills the look otherwise the car would look alright although im not usually a fan of mixing and matching parts from different models

    serously, what is with people putting ss bobtails at an angle like that? are they trying to get maximum downforce from it or something?

    i think the reason is that they put the middle bit on first and not get it lined up propley wen i think they should do 1 side first but with blue tac holding it on so u can line everything up lol. Some ppl hey, they never learn. Im lucky cause my bobtail was on it from factory

    oh and i think the kit is vn ss front and side skirts and vp calis rear bar with that wheel arch thingy lol

    Close guys.


    Front bar is stock VN, with the SS lip (no holes for the spotties, so not genuine SS)
    VP Calais Door Moulds/Spats
    VP SS Rear bar/lip

    The side skirts are probably fibreglass copies of the SS brand, although i've seen a few HSVs which have them from factory, so could be them.


    VP SS and VP Calais rear bars are identical, one has red stripe, the other has chrome.
    And of course the lip, although that is universal to any VP Sedan Rear bar.

    The spats all have chrome striping, but thats very easy to change (i looked at an SS with the red stripes).

    haha i wont copy it mate, im gonna keep it all vp parts
    probably go with the full ss kit with either a bobtail or no spoiler
    or maybe calais rear bar and moulds coz i like the chrome, but i want the spats either way

    and thanks stealthy i reckon youve got it spot on mate
    you could write an encylopedia on vn/vp's lol

    thanks for the input everyone
