    Default calais identification

    i have a vl executive apparantly well thats what its badged as yet the other day i was installing a new steering wheel thought id get the non calais boss kit for it and i was having problems so i ordered the calais one and it fitted perfectly so i dug a little deeper and found a sticker inside the drivers side door from the factory that said calais soming rather factory check ok

    does anyone no the vin codes for a calais so i can check it against that because i can see ordering parts will be a nightmare if the car is an executive with various calais parts

    In case you cant find it in that thread, your looking for 8VX in your vin (K = exec, and L = berlina)
