It will fit, it will look stupid though cause the standard exec/berlina grille is a bit more rounded, whereas the calais front is squarer, hence the calais grille is a bit squarer also. Has been done, looks pretty stupid. Remember the calais grille was there for a reason, which was to match up with the headlights under the calais front. Just get a group A letterbox grille they look heaps better.

The only difference between a Calais and the other models is the clearance required for the pop up mechanism. The Group A and LE grilles look the same from the front but have different depths to them. The SV88 being a Calais used a standard SL/Berlina Grille. Corsa
