So after being stuffed around a lot with the sun visor i have finally got it sprayed up and fitted! Really digging the look of it, i'm yet too see another vs stato/caprice with one. Thoughts? also been looking at custom plates for it but im not sure whether to get slim or standard black and white. Anyone got a vr/vs stato with slims?

Slim tuxedo on front, standard on rear. Rear doesn't look great with slimline because the number plate garnish looks empty imo.

Not sure about the sun visor, it reminds me a bit of my Pop's old XR Falcon....

Yeah true I was thinking the same thing about the back as the plate cut out is quite large and I can't seem to find any photos online of slim plates on the rear. I've noticed on the vplates website that not all combinations are available in slim line either.

Haha yeah it definitely makes the car look a bit older

IMO I'd remove the visor and wheels, chuck them in the shed so you still have them and fit some nice alloys. It's almost there just not quite but that's only my thoughts.

Yeah that's fair mate, I personally love the stock vs caprice wheels when they are polished up!

PS. The original Caprice rims simply ooze class not ass.

Visor looks great. Need some whitewall tyres, not full wall but a white strip would look awesome.
