    Other than watching ebay, try ringing around a few wreckers. Try commwreck in Sydney. The inserts you're after are from the berlina model. Good luck :)

    The VS Berlinas have chrome inserts but the inner part of them is painted grey. Mine had a couple bits of its paint flaked off so I got a steam gun and all the paint peeled right off revealing a nice chrome all over. just dont use too much heat or you will melt it a lil and get bubble kinda things goin. They look good, its worth a try as I think the berlina has same inserts as other models

    do the VS grills fit the front of VRs? my mates got a wreaked VS and he might be giving it to me; it's just one of those thin chrome ones which which fit on the front bonnet.
