[skitzn]

Hey dude ,

I saw this on the cruise and thought it was ace!

Something so different but as soon as I saw it I knew it was done in a u.s. Cop car paint.

You must have alot of spare time!!!! LOL

Good luck with it and hope to see you out and about in it.

Thats one of the best cars I have seen on here for a while lol

Well done

[TVR-190]

btw you need the a pillar spotties

[LightningVP]

Car looks sweet, seen it a few times...Love the pic with the real cop car behind you...ever need help with wiring (although I'm not a qualified electrician, and if i kill or injure anyone, or burn down your car I have no back up) I'm happy to help

[LAPD-VN]

yeah i have few more strobes to put in the reverse lights and head lights. im in the process of "aquiring" one of those flouro light tube cases to make makeshift bar lights. As for the cop car behind me. I did something stupid by over taking a car from the right hand turning lane. I had no idea where the police 4x4 was but they caught upto me at the next lights.

As for the pillar spotties, ive seen them on ebay but as im out of work due to a back injury and well centrelink take their sweet ass time doing anything about payments.. TAC are hacks. I sorta just get by with what i can find laying around the house and at hard rubbish.

[calaiscruzer]

haha cool car dude. ive seen something very similar on ebay about 6months ago or so.
What does the 'motto' on the side doors say? I cant read it but i reckon it should say something like "to defect and perve" lol

Good basic mods done, definetely go the SC14 if you wana blow it, I think i read that u know stocky so he might know a thing or 2 about sc14's . LOL

The doors say atm "to serve and protect" but ive had people tell me to change it to "to severe and disrespect"

I saw a vn painted like this yrs and yrs ago up in qld. I asked the guy selling at that point if he ever had the aus cops hound on him. He said it wasnt a daily driver but they still didnt. So i figured it was a better idea than my faded crows feet paint i had on the car and yeah. Since then ive not been picked on for defects or anything else. Only pulled up today for "illegal" lane changing.

Hell when the car used to be bog stock blue i was pulled over daily for "random" licence checks and rego checks. Now i just get the police seeing it as a novility.

Btw thanks LightningVP. I may just take you up on that offer sometime. Im only doing basic driving atm until i can replce the rear tyres. They definately arent upto the police/vic roads standard for tread. My opinion is if you can still see a tread pattern they are safe.

lol...they might think your a real cop lol...


no worries mate, and unfortunately, that's how I am with my front wheels right now, don't have the money to get new tread, so I may put my old 15s back on

[VN_Luke]

I know which one I'd rather get pulled up by!

very cool car! - i was half expecting it to be parking everywhere by means of a handbrake 180, in true blues brothers fashion.

the spotties on the mirror area would absolutely top this off!! - along with the lightbar!

is it legal to have red/blue light covers on top of the car? or are you pushing it? - what about just red ones?

have you ever thought about one of them cool 'nudge/pit/smash into other cars' bars on the front?

[LightningVP]

^^^^ LOL....

Also....with that pic, who actually thought of getting out the car to take the photo?

ya the a piller spotties, legally he cant have red and blue lights on the roof unless on public property, the clear ones he has that flash red and blue are a grey area but you should be able to get away with them.

need some of these:

[Jo3_Blo]

That's awesome.

When I read the title I thought "God no....." but when I saw it I was like "HELL YEH!!"

Good job mate. The pillar spotties will look a treat, and I reckon the cop emblem on the sides needs to be bigger, so it's more noticeable and dosn't get mistaken for a car with mis-matching panels.


I like the suggestion of "to perve and defect" instead of to serve and protect........but that might look a bit bad (if it's your daily driver) and might ruffle a few feathers.

I told my friend to jump out after asking the cops for a pic. its a pitty you cant see the lights on the 4x4. they had me waiting for 15 mins at the intersection of ftg rd and burwood hwy.

[LightningVP]

[Lumps of cheese]

logos weren't really that big on LAPD crown vics:




What the car NEEDS, is unit and district numbers printed on the boot and roof
