Damn, now this is a custom VN that's actually had the effort put in, and it bloody shows. Much better than a lot of other cars that claim to be custom...
You've done an awesome job. Well done.![]()

Tomorrow doesn't look good either.
God must love stupid people, He made so many.
Love the seats and leather touches on the interior mate, bootlid is very custom too.
Yeah the interior is great, not a bad colour too! I really dislike the boot tho, Just my opinion. Overall one sexy VN buddy.
Nice vn love the interior, rims n color.... not a fan of the yellow walls or the boot, but it's you ride and your prouds so its all good... keep up the good work.
busted ass vp
thats one neat vn![]()
you can really tell you have put alot of effort into this
its the attension to detail that makes it good,
thats hot mate. i love the whole color coding that you have done, and that boot! i love it!, i eventually intend on doing that but cant really think of a way to do it as good as yours.... if you can can you pm me on some details on how to do it? thanks heaps mate

Love your car rowie it's definitely come a long way from what it was. Well done on all the mods you've done and good luck with all the mods you intend to do.
That is a freeken clean looking car.
That bootlid is awesome....damn i gotta get round to doing something like that...
Only thing that doesnt do it for me is the wheel design, but eh, personal taste.

thats one damn nice vn!!! love almost everything, if the number plate hole had been a little smoother, rounder and less deep it would be better, thats just me! but everything else is sick, interior=WOW!
i must say its very eunique and very nice mate!!! i am a fan indeed!!! not sure about the modified boot garnish........dont get me wrong it doesnt look bad...........just very different but i think i like that too!!!
