    Default Are VT Grilles the same size as VX grills?

    It may sound like an obvious question, but I just wanna be 100% sure before I go buying them..

    Are VT Commodore front grilles the same size as the VX grilles? So if I bought these, would they fit my VX.



    I think they would fit, but as I said, I wanna be 100% sure as the listing only says VT.

    Thanks,
    Chris.

    I think VX grilles are a slightly different shape, I think they're a bit bigger.

    Ok thanks for clearing this up. By the way.. I just went to unscrew the grille bit and I found out its connected to the whole bumper. How do u just get the individual grille bits out cleanly?

    If you have a S, I was told with the SS VX they are one peace bar and grill. Might be the same with the one your talking about.

    A couple of screws on top (you will need to raise the bonnet) and two plastic pins at the bottom which go into the bumper. So undo the screws, pull the grille forward and lift upwards.

    Yeah I unscrew the top bits and it seems that the whole front bodykit bumper is connected it. I would love for someone to post some pics on how to do this.

    Yep , the VX SS and S grilles and bar are one piece. If you are carefull you can cut out the SS and S grilles from the bar and insert the chrome VT ones which are the same size.
    Someone on this forum done it a while ago .

    I was gonna spray them white, thought it might look alright. I suppose I don't really need to take the bar off to paint them, just be really careful.

    Comparing the pic you posted of the chrome grill, with my VX which is sitting about 5 feet away from me there apears to be a difference in the shape, Id ring a motor wrecker if I was you and ask them if theres a difference as they do alot of swapping and improvising.

    The grille on an executive is bigger than the grille on the SS and S .
    The VX SS and S grille is the same as the VT ,but the VX SS and S is part of the front bar
