I'm leaning towards a yes- yes it is. But I'm sure some Vic lads will confirm.

Something to do with all parts of the car needing to be functional, like if you had fake indicators glued to your guards they're defective unless they actually work

Dont you wish you paid that little bit extra & bought a calais! Listen up all you fake calais owners. My suggestion would be to keep a constant eye on the damaged vehicle auctions.These are in most states. I've seen calais going under the hammer for under $500. Thats the whole bloody car!,usually less the stereo & steering wheels.Usual bids are around $1000 depending on if it is a right off,stolen & recovered or pre wreckers. Try 'fowlers' or punch damaged vehicle auctions into your search engine.

see them down my way from 800 to 1500 and getting worse due to wanker young drivers wrecking calais front first.

if its an everything deal take it unless you ssee something else. eylids must be operational so id leave the fibremaster stuff alone unless thats what you really want.
ive seen opening eyelids operational by pulling a choke cable. worked well and was completely fool proof.

I have a friend who can get me the front end of a Calais front for $1500 now my VL only cost me $2000 so im kinda worrying if this is a rip...
The Front incudes everything but the grill.
Thanks if anyone can give advice on this :)
From AnDy

I wouldnt even pay $2000 for the pop ups, l/h and r/h guards, front bar and the bonnet. dont pay more then 500-800 if ur just buying the front apron and pop ups

Yeah $1500 is a bit steep I've seen them for $1000 complete and even down to around $600 but you gotta be lucky aye.
They are in demand in VIC oh yes.
