Hi all, am new around here, Have a question, Mate of mine has a Red VL Commodore, and he has been told by his brother (Cars pervious owner) and his bro's mates that the Commodore is a LE (ie Limited Edition). Anyone ever heard of such a thing?? or are these guys really just taking the p*ss?? Cheers Chris. edit bad spelling

there is such thing as an "le" vl, they had lower skirt kit on the car

u can usually tell my the bodykit, it would have a rear spoiler on the edge of the boot lid, front, rear, side skirts, letterbox grill, and i think theres a HDT badge somewhere. Someone correct me if im rong.. Jimbo

Its not a genuine LE but the kit is real so you've got the lower lip on front,side and rear and the little spoiler off the bootlid. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Ive seen a VL round here with an LE sticker on the RHS of the bootlid. Not a HDT LE (or even a Calais) however, just an Exec with a sticker. I think they may have been some kind of dealer pack. Not entirely sure.

There's a difference between the HDT 'LE' and the normal 'Limited Edition'. The limited edition VL has funny silver decals on the lower doors, and a few extra interior bits thrown in to make the exec base a little classier.

Which is what I said before Silver bumpers, tacho dash, silver dot decal on the lower doors, and a few miscellaneous extras on an executive base. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

My mate had one, has furnished door skins half way from memory, similar to calais, and limited eddition badge on front molding.

There all right, there are quite a few "limited edition" vl's for sale at the moment....the bloody things got my hopes up, thought i found another HDT LE

here is a better, well not to crash hot , pic of a vl le Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

*** that looks awsome.

yeah , not mine though , got the same mags but ...the le bumper add-ons arnt cheap either

Hey all, thanks for the replies, So I need to check, the body kit, dash, mags, door trims, I know has no exterior decals or stickers, as has been repainted. What else should I look for? Will see if I can get a pic of it and post it. Cheers Chris.

If an HDT LE, it will have an HDT build plate won't it? If its just a "Limited Edition" as described above, i doubt there will be anything to identify it if its been resprayed.

Commiedoo, can you repost the picture link please, the other seems to be dead. Cheers Chris.

yeah Jordy is spot on Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
