    Default VN Calais Bumper Question

    Hey hows it going,
    Just a quick query.
    I currently have a VN 5L Calais which had an aero bodykit on it, now thats taken off and i am looking at getting it back to a stock Calais.
    Now can anyone tell me was the calais front bumper and rear bumper the same as the SS or the Berlina ?
    As i need to find out what type they were and also where to get them for cheap,
    Write back cheers.

    negative....

    the front bumpers are not the same..,

    the calais front bumper is sanded down to be flat and then sprayed...

    the exec bumper is rough.... i was looking into getting a new front bumper but it was gonna cost too much just to get it to a sprayable condition... and the calais has body moulding... apart from that its the same...
