    Just wondering if there is a letter box grill like you can get for the other commodores? There is some for the vb-vn and even ve but what about the vy? Any body seen them?

    I'm after the same one! Ive seen one on a Sv8 but there was something weird about the look. I've had no luck finding one either so its looking like have to get it custom made.

    Might have to get a berlina or something and use that as a base to make your own.. Might have to look into it a bit more.

    Has the thought crossed your mind about a custom fitment of a wk/wl stato grill? That would look mint

    No, can't say I've thought of a st80 grill.. Been looking on the interweb and seems either a custom made shop job or a home made job is the only things to do..

    I saw this thread and thought id have a go at photo shopping one from a ve onto a vy ss.
    Im pretty good at photo shopping and it just doesn't look right, the vy's aren't beefy enough to look good with one haha
    Think the brock kit should be left to the vk, vl and ve

    A more open centre would suit a lot better than the standard letterbox ones

    Personally think that the s pack can't pull off the look because of how small the grill is, would suit a Calais alot better because of the larger grill
