Modifying VT Acclaim - Front bumper

[manooka]

I'm looking at making some modifications to my fairly stock VT Acclaim sedan. The colour is Raven blue/black and I already have a spoiler. Other than getting it mechanically ship-shape I'm looking at doing the following

- Replacing LHS front quarter panel (has bad dint at front)
- Adding SS or similar rims
- Replacing stock radio with Pioneer 2 DIN with bluetooth
- Replacing front bumper and headlights with VX SS style bumper / lights plus fog lights (Probably this one Holden Commodore VT VX VU SS GMH Front Bumper Bar +Headlight +Fog Lights Set)

My main question with this is, if I replace the front bumper with the SS one linked above and then get the current skirt (stock grey plastic) painted with the body colour, will this look ok? Anyone got any examples of this? I'm worried that the front would sit lower than the current skirts/rear, and it looks weird. From looking at various photos it's a bit hard to tell. I was wondering if I could get away without having to go the full SS style bodykit.

I don't have a photo of the car with me, but it looks identical to this just with a spoiler



Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated!

I'm really not sure if it would sit that much lower. I found this example on another forum, notice the height diff of the skirts, looks pretty much the same at the front?

The SS front bar has the lip so yes it would look a bit weird, best off going with the side skirts and rear bumper as well or just save and get a Vx S Pack if you want the looks and a V6. Oh and welcome to the forum

Cheers for the advice. It's a bit hard to tell how much the bumper lip sticks out on the sides when compared to the stock skirt. The S pack skirts look a little fatter, but around the same height. I might get it fitted and if it looks unbearable I can always get some skirts later. I'm guessing there might be a reason why I haven't been able to find any other examples of this!
