    Default VX executive Rear Fender change

    Is it Possible to change then rear Fender from a VX Executive over to a VT to get rid of the ugly reflectors?

    Cheers Tom.

    Why? Keep the VX Bumper Bar, It's newer and I reckon it looks better then the VT one.

    If you did that, you'd have to change it to VT tail lights so you had the reflectors, it is illegal not to have them.

    If you are talking about the bumper cover then its a straight bolt on/off affair. You will need to also change the rear tail lights to either the VT type or other with integrated red reflectors to comply with relevant ADR requirements. Highly unlikely to be a problem unless you get arse slammed and the insurance company deny cover due to a non ADR compliant modification.

    I was Planning on changing the tail lights aswell So I guess I'll have to do that first and make sure they have a reflector in them. Thanks for the help everyone.

    Getting more accustomed to the idea of just leaving them, It seems easier and also it would seem I have someone stalking me liking every comment against this, I see you AlexVSII. Brothers ha.

    Oh crap I'm sprung...

    But like I've said to you IRL, I'd reccomend for the time being at least just leaving the car stock-ish... Take it from me, you'll want a decent CD player put in and probably at least 2 new speakers, as well as whatever else you need to get done to make it a pleasant place to be.

    And whatever you do, for the love of god please, please don't put those damn Altezza lights on the back of it...

    I reckon go the VT rear bar and just get VX Calais tail lights, that way you have the reflectors, but not on the rear bar

    VX berlina/calais garnish & lights + bumper = no reflectors.

    do not bother with anything else.



    edit: ^ why would you go a VT bar? VX calais' bar's don't have reflectors.

    The VX Calais ones have those lumpy things on the sides, I reckon they look shit as, thats why if you can get a VT bar in your colour cheap you may as well get that, the only thing you miss is the smaller line around the back as its got the thicker one for the chrome strips.
