    ^^ I agree entirely. Get SS lips, sides and spoiler. Berlina/calias chrome window/bumpers/door trim and she will look Awesome.

    Thats what I was planning to do with my VR - but in vivid white. I have since had a change in circumstance (in the form of a valiant regal) so Will not be doing this myself.

    if not SS look then the calias look, personally i think it looks awesome, with some driving light bezels, with the grey two tone paint work, chrome trim, nice balck tint, and depending on the colour of your car i'm really liking the tinted lights like front lights, indicators, rear lights, try and keep it looking hot stock, cause the VY body kits look awefull!!!
    it may even interest you to get the HSV manta body kit, you'll be lucky to find originals, but fiberglass will still look better than the VY look

    as most above, no bodykit looks horn!! even a stock car on stock rims dumped looks good. if any kit,SS or aero but thats my personal opinion.

    At the end of the day its your car and you'll kit it how you want it you need to be happy with the look of it even if 100% of members on here dont like it. Its your car!

    I had the same dilemma when I had an exec. I was looking at kits and decided that the SS was the best by far so instead of putting one on my exec. I sold it and bought an SS, best of both worlds got the kit I wanted and a V8

    hsv kit ftw.

    but yeah, vs look pretty good when theyre just standard, but a bit lowered on good wheels. the ss kit improves that

    When i first got my vr and started the modding process i was keen on a body kit ..... and yes i considered the vy kit and a number of terrible looking aftermarket kits.... i have since come to love the shape of my vr in its natural executive shape (when lowered).
    My plans are to leave it as is and paint it Metallic/mica black with a set of wicked rims.

    Of all the body kits i like the ss on these models ..... If you really want a kit i would choose the ss...
