Hi All
Just wondering if an AU S1 Fairmont chrome grille will be a straight swap into an AU S3. Thanks. |

No the grilles are different between series and model i.e. a Forte/XR has a different grille (and bonnet) to a Fairmont.

although the low series one had a different bonnet and therefore a different grille the series one high series bonnet is the common bonnet on all other AUs except the XR so you can fit a series one fairmont grille on a series 3

And if you need triple confirmation - yes, it will fit.
And the no answer is from a ute driver - what would they know about sedans.
