yep dude, you rebadge a vr with vs lions and it can be almost impossible to tell that its vr apperance wise unless you pop the hood or you have stockie hubcaps on it and if you want to really get nitty and gritty the earlier vr's had black plastic door handles instead of black metal and two key holes one on the drivers and one on the passenger instead of just one on the drivers for models with central locking
ive got a series I vs ute and they even interchange stuff from the factory in the earlier models when i changed my instrument cluster to a level 2 it had VR LEVEL 1 CLUSTER stamped on it
hard to tell from the outside easiest way is the badge, interior is heaps differnt. vs has better lookin steering wheel and interior colours. headlights are the same.
Series 2 VR has speed alert
Colours/badges/trim/wheels
The series 2 calais had the different offset of 2 tone and Calais came with optional Super 6 , the only other model to option it was Statesman at the time.
