    vr was the first australian velcal to have an "optioned" air bag so to answer your question yes there are vr commodore that do not have air bags.

    On the VS's they were still optioned on the executives but was standard on the calais and acclaim, statesman etc...

    VT was when they had air bags as standard? as with ABS??

    I think you can as long as it's ADR approved, which isn't many of them

    no as the car came with air bag from factory you cant legally change to a none air bag wheel...you can however change to a sports air bag wheel but there ****ing expensive

    if it came out with no air bag from factory then yes you can legally change to a sports steering wheel provideing its an aproved wheel.

    The VT was the first Commodore to come standard with a drivers airbag throughout the range.

    VR offered drivers airbag as an optional extra on the Executive, S and SS specs, standard on Acclaim and Calais.

    VS offered driver and passenger airbags, optioned on Executive, Equipe, S, SS, Berlina (passenger option, drivers bag standard) - both were standard on Acclaim and Calais

    my VS SI acclaim has driver and passenger airbags, my VE SII exec has no airbags...
    Standard execs didn't come with airbags, nor did the acclaims in both series, that being said, it was up to the buyer of the new car if they wanted them fitted...

    VR Acclaim and Calais were the first model to have a standard drivers side airbag.

    VS Acclaim and Calais were the first models to have drivers and passengers airbag as standard. all models it was optional for the passengers airbag

    I can appreciate the work that went into it, and am in awe at just how smooth the panels and paint look in the pictures (and how much creativity it would have taken to mould everything together)... so a big kudos to the guys that made it happen, but IMO it looks pretty butt ugly - the roof/doorline just doesn't lend itsself to the styling of the front and rear particularly well.
