justin_n Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 I noticed that Vellfires either have this Or this Am I right in assuming the First one is the standard. Is the second one aftermarket or an optional extra?

Having said that, there are aftermarket panels available. The same is true for Alphards too.

I honestly don't know if Toyota sold some directly with a Modellista bodykit, I just know some imported Vellfire already got the bodykit, but I don't know if it's genuine or installed by the previous owner. And you can find toys/reduced models of Vellfires with this kit too.
arthurj Posted January 21, 2023 Posted January 21, 2023 I have that second style grille without the logo. It’s not aftermarket, it’s a Toyota factory option. The owners’ manual shows images of both styles. 1 1
Alphard2024 Posted November 9 Posted November 9 It's interesting when it's the different grille with no badge, as it leaves others wondering what the vehicle is, more so than the one with the badge. Obviously when the rear Toyota, Alphard, or Vellfire badge is seen it gives it away. So I wouldn't be surprised if some owners debadge their vehicles to maintain an air of mystery.
pfeds Posted Monday at 10:51 AM Posted Monday at 10:51 AM I love the Modellista grill. There's another Vellfire near me which has it and it looks really good, but £280+ to buy I think...
