    Default 1993 VR Acclaim Wagon

    Hey All
    I have just purchased a 1993 VR Acclaim Wagon 3.8 litre

    I was wondering if someone could give me the specs to one of these?

    I was also wondering what body kits are available for the wagon?

    any help is greatly appreciated

    Cheers

    I just sold my old side skirts. Ute side skirts will fit them. I have a Clubsport bumper on mine, but any sedan front bumpers fit. You can get a small rear wing for them that came out on the VR clubsport wagons, there were very few made. You can get them off ebay. Rear bumpers are the hardest to come by but whack some clear taillights on it and it sorta jazzes up the rear end. Click My Wagon below to see mine, its nothing flash but its got some personal touches. Go back to page one and these a heap more photos there, the link goes straight to the last page

    No there was no VR/S monaros that i know of. But you can get fiberglass remodeled bumpers. Like there is a fair few VX HSV kits remade to suit VR/S.

    Yeah just like that. There have been a few threads around here about kits they have bought that dont quite fit right. You need to sorta make sure you can take it back if its a bad fit and you can prove it to the seller. A bloke at work had a bit of trouble with a kit he bought from a shop. My personal preference is to get a recomendation off somone who has bought one and can recomend somone.

    No i dont, but if you start a new thread in the PUB section and ask for peoples recomendations im sure you will get a few replys. And i just checked out that sellers feedback and he has a couple of negatives and one is for bad fitting.

    EDIT: after siffting further through that guys feedback i would never buy off of him
