    Good choice of bodykit, one of the best VN bodykits there are, do you have the side skirts?

    Cost was about 2 gs for paint work. I did all the body work because my dad owns a crash shop lol. He liked it cos the other apprentice painter got to paint my car n learn how to paint. We used about 5 litres of paint i think in the end cos we gave the car 3 coates and had to paint the bodykit twice due to pinholes.
