You've got it. The VZ sedans (except sports models) carried over the VY Calais/Berlina rear bar and lights.

The difference in depth is a lot more than 25 mm. If you look at the horizontal section of the bumper immediately below the lights in the VY and VZ Execs, for example, the section is only about 68mm deep between the bottom of the light and the crease in the bumper in the VZ and 112 mm deep in the VY. so the difference is actually about 44mm.

You'll also need the reflectors in the bar because Calais (and VZ Berlina) tail lights do not have reflectors in them.
