as i'm a proud owner of a statesman :king: i can tell you sorry :( the grille will not go on a standard commodore because the statesman grille is a part of the bonnent and goes down to the bumper, were as the commdore the grille is a part of the bumper an it goes up to the bonnet.

Is there anything but a proud statesman owner?

I concur statement, the grille is incorporated into the bonnet. Will require a complete transplant of the bonnet and front bumper as well.

A stato/caprice front end will fit on the front of the sedans/wagons.

You will need a new bonnet, both guards, bumper bar, fog lights (and holders) and bonnet grill.

To buy all of the parts new your looking at around $1-2k easily, to buy them 2nd hand ive got no idea!

if you zoom in you can see that the owner did not change the fenders cause you can see that around the headlight the lines do not match the fender or bonnet.

an just to clear wat i said in the first post, you can fit a stato grille only if buy the bonnet an bumper to match. an to make it look right you will also need the fenders :thumbsup:

Commodore and statesman in the Vr,Vs range had the same guards and headlights so you dont need to change them.
Holden made a car called the Royale which had a vr,vs stato front on a sedan shell,found them in NZ.
