200 series vl's are gold came out in 88 only and is distinctly noticeable by the small lip running along bumpers and their australia flag badge on the car. the car also came out with number plates when originally registered with 1788 - 1988 (but that was across the board with alot of cars that year not just this vl .
the vl limited edition ( LE ) was basically in the sl's optioned out with the exclusion of power windows, different head rests, interior trim, and the sl versions came out with silver bars apposed to the traditional mx grey in the sl series . the only really special thing about vl sl le's are their sticker to be honest though.
Vl limited edition calais (LE CALAIS) was a product of hdt, This car was a fully optioned out calais with all the goodies and look to match, the le calais where special in the sense that they only came out single tone, not two. the lipped body kit all round, lip spoiler on the boot and letterbox grille are just some things to mention apart from all the le badges around the car.

the best way to decifer differneces yourself is learning how simple the SL commodore is, and compare the models from that car.
