VE berlina front grille mod?

[AntonioNicola]

Am new to joining this forum but browse often enough. Signed up specifically to post this thread as I haven't seen any answers I'm looking for.
I recently bought a 2010 VE berlina and I've had a few changes in mind. One of them was the grill. Love the car, but hate the grill. I would like to fit a calais style grill on.
Can I just buy a calais grill and the chrome bonnet lip and mount that straight on, without changing the front bumper? I know that berlina and calais share some of the same parts ie tail lights (which I also which to change to as the darker ones look so much better than the red berlina ones) but not sure if I'd have to make any mods to it.
Thanks in advance and sorry for such a long post!

if you have a series 1, this should have the answers you're after: https://forums.justcommodores.com.a...t-grille-fit-s1-berlina-2.231526/post-2620776

unsure about series 2 (they were release in sept 2010, you said you had a 2010, so could be s1 or s2)

not a perfect fit but does the job.

Update: Bought some honeycomb mesh and decided to custom make my own grill. Going to cut the insert away from my existing grill and replace it with honeycomb mesh, might also add a badge to it in the lower right side as others have done but perhaps a small berlina badge, will post pics when finished

Sweet thanks. I'm In love with the second link with the chrome bonnet strip, totally dig the calais look. Doing it this weekend, will have to order the bonnet strip if the grill comes out a success!
