Yes, they are a straight swap.
You need to drill holes in the bumper reo (metal bar behind the plastic) to fit the fog light brackets (I'm assuming that's what you're doing).
The VR & VS front bars are all the same. The S & SS have the lip spoiler |

What do you mean cut a hole in the bar? Are you referring to the bumper or for the bezels to fit the lights?

How about, what/why are you wanting to fit the SS/Calais bar for - rather than just a will it fit and we can give a much better, more guided answer.
The simple answer to your first post is yes, it will fit.
However, its not a simple bolt-on / bolt o |

Mick,
You were right about the lights. There is a cheap bumper and lights going on ebay atm and was going to fit them to my vs s2 ute. The bumper has the lights and bezels already in it.

The bezels are fitted into the actual plastic bar (after the required holes are cut).
The lights aren't fitted to the plastic bar. They are actually hung off brackets that are bolted to the metal re-inforcement bar that sits behind the plastic bar.
