nice neat vs, have u got any inside pics? and i reckon get the ss fog lights

[Surfwagon]

Thats what mine looked like when I got it 11 years ago and my told me I wasn't to touch or spend any money on it.
Fog lights are a good body mod.

nice neat vs, have u got any inside pics? and i reckon get the ss fog lights

No it is stock inside but good cond.and it is a bit dirty so no pics lol

[<RaBBiT>]

ahhk but still nice to see lol,

[Feralprick]

wagons are a good car to do up over here in wa not many ppl do up the wagons they stick to the sedans and the good old ute...but yea i like the look of ur wagon mate

[VS_Pete_1]

Would just adding the Bezels look ok?
Or would I look like a dick with no lamps?
Leave them black be ok?
Or should colour code them?
Help me make up my mine.
I`m going to put Calias grills on too.

[dbarnes]

My mate has just the bezels on his VR, and just has mesh behind it, looks good still

[VS_Pete_1]

Thanks man.
Can you get a pic please if possible?

[VS_Pete_1]

Would anybody else like to add their opinions about the fog lights.

[Surfwagon]

I think I saw some foggies for a VR-VS on eBay this week.
Have seen a few cars running calais and SS bars without the lights but lights would look better.
Any rectangle fog light would be ok to mount behind the bar.

pic u wanted mate

[VS_Pete_1]

Looks good.
Thanks for that.

[scottVH]

car looks great mate.
love the vs wags.
hows the exhaust sound?

[VS_Pete_1]

Thanks mate.
The exhaust sounds pretty good for a v6.
I drove pass a bloke from work he was walking and he has an v8.
He said it sounded good.

[VS_Pete_1]

I just had a look at your VH Scott looks good.
I had a wagon with some Pedders work SH** it hug the road.
It`s out in the rain in the back yard grazing now lol.

[VS_Pete_1]

Have updated thread.

[VS_Pete_1]

Have added Mace 1.9:1 ratio roller rocker kit.
Good bang for buck.

[yentzelburger]

Nice wagon. Good to see someone else being different. They look great stock or with any kit bcoz they're not trying to look like something else, they're just lookin different.

[seraphic06]

I'm loving your wagon mate. I reckon if you can track down some driving lights to put in the bezels it would look better than the mesh. I was going to do the same but ended not bothering. I just installed some aftermarket ones and installed them in the main scoop part of the bar (see My Ride if interested).

Was the reversing sensors hard to install and what brand is it?

[VS_Pete_1]

This bloke comes into work in brisbane mybe you could email him about them if you like don`t know the brand.

[VS_Pete_1]

Have updated thread.
Have taken off the SS CAI and installed Mace CAI with Pod.

[nathanVY]

Nice, howd you find the Mace CAI? easy to install? how does it compare to your old one?

[VS_Pete_1]

To install you have to have patience.
The pod could be shorter as it hits the washer bottle.
The pickup is better than the SS cai and you can hear the pod sucking air, I was driving with the windows down for a couple of days.
Doesn`t sound too loud.

very nice wagon u need to two tone it and drop it on stockies and it would look off its head
