    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

    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!
