    Default Grille for VY Acclaim

    Hi all,

    Does anyone know if there is an SS style grille out there that will fit on an acclaim bar? I know that you can get a chev one!

    I purchased an SS grille to find out it wouldn't fit! - I guess that I should have done my research!

    Will the VZ exec, acclaim or SS grille fit?

    cheers

    Scott

    No SS grille will fit on an acclaim bar. SS grille = SS Front Bar.

    No VZ grilles will fit either.

    They're a different shape...

    Thanks! That's what I thought!

    Was trying to get out of changing the bar due to my insurance company, I am going to companies and they will let me

    What sort of insurance company won't let you interchange a plastic facia from one version of the same model? That is stupidity of the highest order. What difference does fitting an SS bar to an Exec make as far as insurance risk represent? The cost of the bar would only be a few bucks one way or the other from a standard bar, the bonnet, front bumper reinforcement, front guards and most electrical components are identical from Exec to Calais, so what is their point?

    Oh, I see. Fit an SS bar and you obviously drive faster.....dumb t***ds!
