    Nice tidy ride bud. Can i ask what purpose that ugly bug catcher serves? It makes the car look a little worse. Otherwise very nice clean tidy ride!!!

    Neat VN mate. Not too sure on the black roof, maybe if it was gloss black it might look a little better. But it looks good either way mate.

    cheers for the comment nickVR...
    yer i sprayed the black roof with pressure packs. it came out pretty gud. im not a sprayer by trade, so a bit experimental. the reason i didnt clear coat it is because a few days after i sprayed it black, a next door neighbour decided it was a good idea to kik a footy over the fence and smash onto my roof. it ended up leaving 3 nice big dents in my roof. if i clear coated the roof, it would just show the dents even more, so i decided not too. im getting a full respray soon , so ill get all the lil dents and imperfections on the body all ironed out. until then, ill put up with a semi gloss roof.lol. still looks the goods i rekon i have a habbit of putting my money towards the engine etc rather than cosmetics,so theres lots of things wrong with the car anyway. so itll all be good once i geta respray..

    Not a bad looking VN mate, certainly different with the black top, I don't like the scoop. Decent little vids you made too.

    cheers for the comments guys! yer, its funny, all the work i have done on my car, and the most talked about thing is the roof,which cost me 40 bucks in paint.. lol. it was just a random thing i decided to do one friday night.. looks gud tho as far as the scoop goes, alot of people tell me it looks ****. so im used to it by now. i just did it because its different . i think the groupA bonnet bump is butt ugly, and seeing as every second vn you see driving around has one, i figured i would whack a hornet scoop on instead,lol. ive tryed to stick with a tuff look with the vn, rather than a try hard gangster mobile with 24' chromies. not really my sorta thing. but at the same time, everyone has different ideas or what tuff is, so each to their own

    Hey man love the car. The black roof really sets it off, something different but looks good. Would look great in gloss black to match the other black on the car too. Like what you've done with the parcel shelf too.

    The bonnet scoop spoils it for me though. It may be a little different but its not good different.
