The AH SRI-T grille is just the ordinary Vaux grille but with a Holden badge.

The SRi-T and the VXR both have the same 'V'. The VXRs is body colour, the Turbos chrome. The actual black plastic is where they differ. The VXR is honeycombe, the Turbo... black slats (with a slightly varying design depending on what year you look at). Theres 3 Turbo designs... all very similar. You can interchange, say... a Turbo chrome V, with the VXR honeycombe... ala Simid's car. Hope that helps

Correct. Three doors have different profile bumpers to the 5 doors. I think the VXR/SRi bumpers come to a point in the middle, whereas the 5 doors dont. Anyway i think the question's been answered

the pov spec 3dr (CD/CDX) grille will also NOT fit the VXR/SRi-T and vice versa as they have the same front bumper as the 5door
