Without getting into the technicalities that a VL S2 doesn't really exist (there is no definable S1/S2 changeover, nor does holden even recognise seperate series of them until VP) you won't get what you're after. Why? These so-called series 2 headrests - I assume you people talking about the padded foam ones, same shape as the VH, instead of the open vynil see-through ones like VK. If so, they are part of the "industry seat" running change that occurred partway through the VL life (at completely different times to the cable vs rod shifter, and the chrome vs black doorhandles.. - commonly argued as S1 & S2 items).

hehehe - I should know I've got their forum link in my sig but yeah there was never a start of stop date for the interior change overs - for example the calais seats I purchased have a series 1 designed rear map pocket and pin spacing but also have the full head rest feature and buttons and the stripe designed door trims... but half the noodles here would just look at the head rests and door trims to see if its a series 1 or 2 hehehe Daz Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

ok true but we still call it S1 or S2 because there is a difference and it has to be recognised somehow, and by naming it S1 or S2 is easiest.

So this probably explains why we get the odd person looking for help trying to determine if their VL is an S1 or an S2 because of the mix-matched 'S1-S2' features in their cars.

It just makes it easier to identify what your talking about, using 'Series I or II' as way's to distinguish.
