    ergh.. looks cheap
    I reckon do a vz front conversion if your going to that extent
    Lose the chrome lights, they look cheap and nasty....

    Good luck with the project

    Clubby kit on an acclaim? Sort of don't mind, don't like those tail lights though, I wouldn't. Go VZ Calais or something nice.

    What do you guys think ? Is it worth it
    1. Like the rear bumper.
    Don't like the rear boot spoiler ( A basic VY SS spoiler is better than this).
    Like the side skirts
    Do not like the front bumper and grille which is now a very dated look. (The basic VY S/SS front body kit is better looking than the product you are considering).

    2. Is is worth it? No - not for the cash you will be spending having regard for the age and value of the car. You will add very little (if any) value to your car but will be spending thousands on the kit and painting plus fitting costs (unless its a DIY fitting). At the end of it you will have an 8 yo V6 Acclaim with an after market body kit.
    If you want a car with a decent body kit, IMHO you will be much better off selling the VY and spending your money on upgrading to a good VZ SV6 or SS as there are plenty of these models on the market at reasonable prices.

    It's your cash though so you should do what you are happiest with.
