VS Berlina

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.

I have a VS S1 Berlina and dont have clear indicators, i don't think VS's had them as they got the upgrade to oval in 96, and they didnt get clear ones till VX

well like someone asked before about the difference between a VN and VP is that on the VP's rear garnish it has a red tailight colour where as vn has painted garnish. on the standard vps they have a plastic clear lookin grille where as vn had a painted grille with little gaps(kinda hard to explain), the vp's had indicators on the side and there headlights are longer there some of the main difference

I believe that the VR also had the Borg Warner manual transmission, whereas the VS like mine has the Getrag.
the VS series I had the borg warner manual, the series II had the getrag gearbox, along with a new clutch, and something else was new, i just remember what (tailshaft, flywheel, i can't remember)

VS 5.0 said:
VS also came out with IRS.
VR's have IRS as well. VS's have two-pack paint, vr is acrylic (mostly). vrs have the older badge, vs is the silver one. VS has speed alert for cars without a trip computer. A feww subtle body mods, slight interior mods
