    Top buy buddy! Keep it stock for a while mate, just enjoy it! A couple of months down the line you'll have an idea of what you want to do.

    Probably retain more value if you leave it stock that said maybe a CD player but keep the original radio and tint the windows. Give it a good once over especially the front end and replace any bushes that are worn and check the bearing plates as they collapse on the VN's and VP's

    Love it mate

    Just keep it stock with some window tint

    I modded my old vp Calais but I'm just keeping my new one stock for a little while

    How much did it set you back mate

    And where you from


    Or if you really want to modify it get some NICE rims

    Some new spring and shocks

    Extractors new exhaust
    a tune from either delcowizzard or greenfoam

    take out the manifold restrictor i think there is mixed results from doing this
