Vk apron and rad support. Where to buy?

[VK SL 3800]

your bumper wont fit as the VKs have larger cut outs down the bottom for the bumper mounts to go in, have a look a DANNY8's wagon thread and youll see the difference as he has a VH bumper on his VK wagon and the front apron is way more open.

I was given the day off today so i decided to do some research and speak to local parts stores and dealers about the parts i needed. Then i thought ill get the plastics out and have a good look at the damage.
It didnt look as bad as it did when i was looking on weird angles.

My new question is whats your opinion on the body. Attempt to flatten out the rad suppot and then and just replace the apron or do the whole lot?

1: Shroud that fan!
2: i reckon you should just pull it back out and if your not happy get a panel shop to fix it up fully, imo definitely not bad enough to replace the whole apron. even if you don get it 100% you wont see any of it behind the bumper and it hasnt bent you headlight mounts or bumper mounts. Depends on your standards on how well you want it repaired.
There isnt any roadworthy/safety issues with fixing it your self as it appears to be structurally sound by looking at pics

Dont do the radiator support it would dress up pretty good with a hammer & dolly with about 1/2hr-1 hrs work

your carbon can has overspray on it.

pull it out with a tree and seatbelt and slap it all back together

The fan is to big for the shroud. Im thinking i may as well get the new apron as it helps supports the head lights and i had to smash that up just to hold the lights there whilst driving.

Im thinking fix what you have lol, none of your damgae is visible when all together and its not real bad, just have a go if your going to replace it anyway.

The thing is i know its there, and if i fix it now, i wont have to worry later on.

mate, im not sure you know what your getting into. opening a whoooole can of worms by taking that rad support off. the best advice has been given already, pull out that damage and dolly it. its up to you whether you want to believe us now or post up later on "i should have believed you guys"
