    Question Will a calais front bar fit on a VZ exec?

    Hey Guys Just a quick question.
    Im thinking about a Front bar change on my white VZ exec either a SS or Calais front bar.
    Just wanting peoples opinions on what would look best and if a Calais would fit without changing guards or bonnet?

    Thanks guys, any help would be appreciated

    I'm quite certain that the SS front bumper will easily fit onto an Executive... however you may then want to consider changing the rims, for example. I'm not sure about a Commodore with an SS or Calais front bar and Exec hubcaps.

    Then again, its up to you, SS or Calais Everyone has their own taste.
    The only Exec in Saudi that's now properly badged!

    Yeah Calais the go. Can't seem to find one though. Anyone know how much I'd pay for a new one or a second hand one?

    Yes, but no.

    It will bolt on. It won't align with the bonnet, grille or headlights. It will look awful. The front guards are the same, nothing else is.

    If you want to change the front end to look like a Calais, it will have to be all or nothing.

    To the OP:

    I'm biased, but the Calais is the smarter looking car head on. If you can get a complete Calais bar, headlights, grille and bonnet strip with mounting bracket, that's the best way to go IMO. Very exxy but effective. Sorry, no idea of cost.

    I could inquire as to what he has that's not sold/damaged as he's wrecking a VY calais.

    Love the look of a vy/vz calais though !
