    Default converting VS calais to series 2?

    anyone know if that would be super costly? would there be a way to extend the white down a bit further or would it need a respray.

    the driving lights can be put it and im not sure what other visual differences the series 2 has over the series one.

    thoughts?

    But you will still have a series one.....why bother? Not many people would be able to tell the difference anyway.

    its only the difference in two tone paint and driving lights.
    i was just asking if there are any other visual differences on the exterior.

    the series 2 has grey moulds on the bottom of the doors and side strips abit higher.
    also the front bumper is different on both.

    differences are,

    series2 bumber rubbers are colour matching, not chrome
    there is a chrome strip on the bars lower then the series1
    series2 front bar has bezel inserts, and a centre insert peice, plus foggies
    series2 doors have actual lower door moulds in grey, not half painted doors like the series 1
    series2 upper door moulds are different to the series1

    also not needed but thought i'd mention, grill inserts are different, series2 have ribs, series 1 are hollow
