    Default vx to vy or vz conversion?

    Well, i saw a vx from behind on the road the other day, looked sweet from behind, and when i got infront of it, it had a vy or a vz front (not quit sure which one it was) but it looked very nice
    i was wondering if any one has done this conversion or anyone knows what parts exaclty are needed to do this?
    If there is already a post like this, sorry for duplicating it, i did not find any like this.
    Cheers

    it would look weird seeing the curvy rear then all the lines on the front end
    i saw something like this and nearly p****d myself laughing
    oh its a VZ.. wait.. its a VT LMFAO. bitsa
    the obvious parts would be the headlights, gaurds and front bar.. also i would put vy side mirrors on it . there might be more to it than that but im not sure

    I have done a VZ Senator conversion on my wagon and it really looks the part. Also seen a few others around but I do admit some of them don't look right.

    To do the conversion you need the following parts:
    - Front guards
    - Bonnet and hinges
    - VY windscreen wiper surround for the washer jets and also the deflector
    - Headlights
    - Depending on the front bumper you use you may also need to replace the re-enforcement bar behind the front bumper.

    I still haven't been given the bill for the conversion yet so I am unsure on the total cost. I can say that the complete front bar is worth about $2,000

    Have a look at my ride to see what you think

    on a sedan i've seen it not a big fan, why spend all that money when the original curves and shape look good anyway? on a wagon/ute different story, your makin the car look years newer.

    Nope, that really does not look the part, looks so far from wrong it isnt funny.

    i regards to my post wagons are ok as its simple to do the whole car with the ones i have seen have been sedans that look bad, i belive that wagons just need a rear light change and bumper and its a complete vz on the outside? not as simple with a sedan

    Yeh thats what I have done to mine. VY SS Wagon skirts and VY rear bar with the VZ tail lights. The only give away on the outside is the VX Mirrors and no plastics around the rear number plate.
