OEM are rare, used..and expensive...
...some alternatives are in the links I gave you.
Ebay, or shipping from USA not a huge issue if nothing in UK available.
Member VXorado has a non OEM set up you might want to look at IIRC.
( some others too..but cant recall..hope they chip in:))

sorry to post all these questions at once, but i have had it for 2 weeks and already i have lifted it, added 35s, carbon'd my bonnet centre, fitted induction kit, and i still need to add bits to get it where i want. gonna be quite a project but think worth it. would rather get advice than trial and error on my own. you have been a massive help JoFotoz and TBH your truck is the kinda look im going for :)
Welcome to VX ownership where did you buy the VX? they are a pretty rare sight here in the UK
bought it of a guy near me in Blackpool, it was his wifes car and he had it advertised as a Jeep! stumbled across it at 11pm, by 8am it was on my drive :)
looks like this so far......

Looks awesome Whitey! Steering wheel's on the wrong side though.
Looks to be in nice condition, cladding etc looks good. Does everything work ok?
cladding was horrible before i put some 99p "astonish back to black" form home bargains on it. everything works spot on. even have the remote control and satnav disk (but for japan) and the (analogue) TV + twin aerials!
Thule 757 rapid footpack works fine for me. Carries canoes/ sea kayak + basket. Some small trimming needed with stanley knife to get a tight fit.Quote:
