    Other than watching ebay, try ringing around a few wreckers. Try commwreck in Sydney. The inserts you're after are from the berlina model. Good luck

    The VS Berlinas have chrome inserts but the inner part of them is painted grey. Mine had a couple bits of its paint flaked off so I got a steam gun and all the paint peeled right off revealing a nice chrome all over. just dont use too much heat or you will melt it a lil and get bubble kinda things goin. They look good, its worth a try as I think the berlina has same inserts as other models

    do the VS grills fit the front of VRs? my mates got a wreaked VS and he might be giving it to me; it's just one of those thin chrome ones which which fit on the front bonnet.
