Sorry. I don't know?

Good luck with it.:)

Keep us in the loop please. Like to see how other peoples builds go.
Just wanted to add an update. Bought a all white painted rear Vt bumper for $130, bought some Vt ss side skirts for $50 each and ended up getting a Vt ss front lip kit.

Have sanded down the front ss lip down to the black plastic and have had it sent off to be filled in and painted which cost my $100 to be done. Added photos of sanding (I know it’s **** )

Then I cut some slits into my bumper between where the white meets the grey ( will attach photos below of the cuts) I used a cheap shitty rotary tool the cutting disk wasn’t big enough so it left lots of marks on the bumper but that’s fine since it gets covered

Took a small video of the lip on before I had taken it off to get painted but will attach some shitty photos of it on from the blurry video

took a little bit of pulling and bending the end inward of the bumper to allow for the side of the lip to slide over. then I put the clips back on once the tabs were through then just sikaflexed the tabs for extra security, then put a screw on each end of the bumper that sits inside the wheel area. and then just put the bumper back on once it dried.

Holden VQ caprice
I thought maybe you'd like to check out my vt wagon. It has kind of a vx ss front bumper with wh caprice bonnet grill, vy ss side skirts. Standard vt rear bar with a fibreglass vx ss lip. :cool:

Hey mate just wondering how you fitted that front bumper to the car? What modifications did you have to do to the bumper to acompany the grill? I want to do the conversion to my WH caprice. Thanks man
