VF series 2 Bonnet

Quick question, will a series 2 bonnet fit onto a series 1 as looking to put a new one on if the series 2 will fit? the one with the air vents on it.

Ha ha ha. we are all different, I hate those air vents!
Sorry I don't know the answer but I guess they would be interchangeable. I can't imagine Holden spending money on tooling to reshape the rest of the bonnet just to stick the airvents in?

I'm with Mr Cow, both in not liking the vents & not actually knowing whether the bonnets are interchangeable ... and also in thinking that they probably are. AFAIK the shapes of parts around it didn't change.

vents serve an actual purpose with this 6.2L

Yes it will fit, I've seen one on Instagram
They paid $880 inc
Using painting from Holden.
I love my vents.

As the VF 2 Calais doesn't have the vents I imagine the VF and VF 2 are interchangeable across all models.

They may have a purpose.
Holden could have made look better by colour coding them, instead of just black, cheap, horrible bogan looking.
Thats why I bought 6.2L Calais.

I agree, I don't personally like them either. I bought a Calais as well for similar reasons. I prefer the understated looks with a few more creature comforts, and a more supple ride. It was a much better fit as a family car than an SS, SSV etc..but as i say, it's a personal choice.

I got the vents because I wanted to drive a manual.
