    BARGAIN! nice car man, not really much you needa do to it as mods tbh unless ur guna upgrade the engine, could always tint the windows + extra little bits n pieces of personal preference here and there, maybe a lip kit change the garnish on the boot, chrome rear lights? all i can think off top of my head tho lol

    EDIT: and done bother wid the pod filter lol unless you get a cold air intake system installed...you'd be wasting ur time lol
    Yeah we dont do burnouts, we do stationary wheel rotations, much more sophisticated.

    you can get the chrome tailights off of ebay although there a ripoff most of the time, try and get the auction ones, there cheaper, or theres the option of a copy calais eg. u paint the lines on the tailights white like the calais rear lights but theyre stickon i think when they come out, there are fair few bodykits that suit the vns, mainly ones designed for the vn lol haha. I personally recon the best 3 are SS, Group A and VY (made for vns) bodykits, but its all about personal preference. A few other extras, theres always the choice of extractors, series 2 coilpacks with coilpack upgrades, bigger leads, different grill, maybe sv5000 or letterbox look alright, possibility of spraying interior too, like centre consol (black looks best) and well yea..

    EDIT: these are fake calais rear lights ppl sell em for like $30 lol

    Yeah give it a good wash, maybe even twice, and then a nice cut and polish, and then a good hard coat of wax. That'll liven her up a bit.

    Then clean up the engine bay, detail the interior, and take some pics That looks in fairly good nick for $1000. Then grab a new front indicator, some new tail lights, and you'll be laughing!
