    Default Is there a difference between the vr and vs boot lids?????

    Hi everyone,

    ok, i've come across this question before and after owning 1 vr and 3 vs models, I have always argued that the boot lids are the same! (besides the holes for the badges)

    Now the other day the question popped up again, regarding the curve on the top edge, I said, like always, that it is the same!

    Now i've come across this, 'Also the top edge of the boot is slightly different' Holden VS Commodore / Calais

    After looking at countless photos im still not convinced. It appears there is a slight difference, yet im not 100% sure. Why would Holden go to such trouble in making a new mould for such a small difference?

    Does anyone know the real answer and can explain?



    Looking forward to your info people!

    Doubt it, but I've never actually looked, just assumed they were the same.

    the curve on the boot might be a tad different.. vr looks curved whereas the vs looks like it has a tiny lip on it. not really noticeable when comparing cars but when comparing boots it kinda is

    only going off pictures on google

    They are exactly the same. Only difference is the VS has the newer Holden emblem.
