And the indicator is longer on the front guard.
VNs dont have side indicators either.

Front bars the same (except Calais) and yes different grilles, rear taillights are the same (clear indicators come with Acclaim, Berlina and Calais on both VR/VS).

Well the badging, stripping, clear colour boot garnish, side indicators, stainless steel rectangular rear muffler and wheels does make the VS look newer.

VR has acrylic, VS has TwoPack, so paint options are different :)

Most of the others have been covered...

badges are different,
chrome on the inside of the front grille (only on VS),
wheels changed tho some carried over (vr calais are same as vs berlina, etc),
S2 calais changed alot (interior as well as exterior, s/c engine option),
side indicators on s2 vs are oval not square like vs1 and vr.
Plenty more but can't think right now.

2016 MY16 SV6, 2 x Triumph 2500 (1970/77), manuals
Manual Transmission.

I believe that the VR also had the Borg Warner manual transmission, whereas the VS like mine has the Getrag.

I thought the upgrade in paint to 2 pack came with the VRII?

ah... not sure sorry.. but i do know the colour choices are different.

Like you don't see purply vs's and you don't see botanica vr's... also that light greeny colour is vr only, etc.
