    4 get the hub caps and tail lts get it back to stock with your stereo stuff!!!! 200,000 is good, treat it well and it should last a while yet.

    vn's are not the smoothest car if you want comfort upgrade to a newer model commodore.
    Cheers.

    Looks like a good base to start with .
    List of things i personally would do
    1. paint bumpers body color or black
    2. lower it
    3. paint the stockies silver

    Those 3 things should make it into a nice cruiser, an exhaust is good but sometimes when your driving around the police its not the best thing to have


    btw, usually calling cops "pigs" will get you flammed on public forums and that attitude towards them will get you defected/fined, they do a hard job

    Having a P plate on your window and driving a Vn commodore is an instant Defect, so calling a cop a pig isnt to harsh when commodores/P plate drives get branded as hoons it works both ways i suppose.
