series 1 or 2 identification

[harry3]

was there any change in identification letters or codes for the VL series 2 ?

do any of the identification plates show whether its series 1 or 2 , was there a badge on the car? I remember seeing a 'series 2' badge on a later commodore

everything from the VN up i think has a series 2 badge. Sum1 told me the pattens in the calais interior is different from series 1 and 2 in the VL. Im pretty sure it says in the VIN number so you'll neeed your handbook .. if u have 1 . i have 2 im too lazy to check now

the series 2 had colour coded centre vent outsides, the plastic aroudn the vents

series one have chrome door handles and series 2 are black interior patterns are different as well and seat shapes, the head rests are 'flatter' nd colour coded vents

Series 2 were made from mid 87 through to mid 88....

Actualy you have it around the wrong way... series one had hard plastic holey headrests - Like VK Calais, & Series 2 had padded headrests. Also series 2 Calais had covered gloveboxes... & high rise centre consoles with extra compartment.

[NORTI]

I have never seen a covered glovebox in a series 1 unless it had been added by owner.

Mine was made in Oct 86 and i have anti-theft plates.

Correct me if im wrong but i thought thet calais's had chrome door handles *series 1 and 2* and everything else had black door handles ...

[BigDaz]

that sux ballz, chrome looks soo much better, my calais had chrome handles, so i put them on my pretty blue VL lol

[GLD-086]

Chrome door handles rock.

They look alot more classy IMO.

Oh mine is a series 1, so the door handles are originals.

[mutant]

i have one black and one silver door handle on drivers side does this mean its a series1.5?

[Shifty1]
