    Go to rare spares, and buy some reproduction vents.
    Then go to a panel shop and get them to cut your VT guards and fit the new panel in.

    Fairly straight forward job. Might look a little funny though.

    Yeah, I don't think those vents will suit the Commodore shape. The guard contour on the HQ is also totally different to the Commodore and the insert might have to be "bent" to suit the Commodore profile.

    Don't do it...they look ####ing A on a Kingswood or old-skool Monaro, but they'd look like poo on any Commodore.
