Does anyone know what other grills will fit the series 2 calais? Dont really like the big chrome grandpa design...

Do any other model fit this bumper bar?

If you don’t like the look of the Calais, sell it and buy a different model.

You can fit any of the grills, you just have to fit the matching bumper.

So if you want an SS grill, fit the bumper.

Cost up a bumper respray and if you can get it done for $600 and the bumper cost, it’s going to add up fast.

Better to drop that coin into something else.

Why not get some black vinyl wrap onto the chrome bits? Sorted for way cheaper. Would take ages to do.

I helped a mate a few weeks back wrap a modlite speed way car....With 4 of us, it took 3 hours to do one side panel, top and the nose.....

Here's a picture of a modlite just for reference of it's size...(And it's not the one I helped with)

So doing a grill will definately take a while, due to the individual parts needing to have the wrap folded over....

Wrap cost $900 and if he was to have it done by someone else, that'd add another $400 to the cost

If you have the cash, it's worth paying someone else to do it, if you're going that direction

Well yes, the Calais is a luxury model... If you wanted a sporty looking car, you should've bought an SV6 Wagon...
