Wondering If a VZ Monaro front bumper will fit a VX Berlina. I hear from some places that you need the VZ Monaro lights to match it.. Anyone know?

Should be easy, Are you going to go with the bonnet as well?.

I got a number for some guys that sell them Genuine reconditioned for around $190-$250 ish not 100% sure but i got a VT Calais Bar for $170 i was going for the Monaro S1 Bumper @ $190 i think but didn't, If i can find there card i'll stick it up here if you like, There in Melbourne's east i believe i had them deliver the bumper to me paid money into there account and got it pretty easy.

I think you will need to change the headlights as well.

Correct !!!:thumbsup: VX Berlina lights are totally different to VZ monaros. even V2 monaro lights are different to VZ, if your fitting a VZ monaro bar you need VZ lights, and if you fit a V2 bar you need V2 lights (or you can use standard VT ones if yout like):thumbsup:

Dang.. I know the Monaro lights are expensive.. Anyone know if any of the
Altezza or aftermarket ones will fit? I'd rather pay 250 for a set than 550 for the real ones.

Are the VZ lights different from the VZ Monaro ones as in shape?

Can't afford the bonnet with the intakes.. That's another 600 bucks + paint..

Pretty sure the vz monaro lights are different to the VT's headlights which would means the altezza headlights won't fit.
You could always go with the older monaro front bars and buy standard VT headlights while you save up for the rest.

Theres not a great deal of difference in the V2 and VZ Monaro headlights, Shape stays the same, But it's the most important area they differ and that is where they meet into the side of the grill, Normal VT headlights have a different shape in this area to the VZ monaro headlights they have a different grove that goes in i seen this first hand trying to buy some myself i had both styles in my hand, Also i believe the parkers are missing from the VZ monaro lights to my eye they looked closed off maybe the parkers are the twin fogs?.

It so happens that a fair few people have done this conversion now. It costs a fair amount. You'll need the bar, top grill, badge and bezzel, bottom grill, both fog light bezzels, fog lights with parkers, VZ Monaro headlights plus painting.
