Ve boot badge

[OMEGA07]

hey guys
just wondering peoples thoughts on changing my boot badge on a ve commodore to the hsv badge...not to look like a wannabe but more to replace the huge holden badge at the back...and not too keen on a chev badge for obvious reasons hahah

any thoughts?

[TinSnips]

Just remove it (check you don't have locator holes first)

haha yh tin i was thinking that but tbh i still want a bit of lion pride back there :P
what about a smaller badge off another model u reckon?

[RUF-60L]

Hopefully it's big enough to hide the holes!

No locating holes on VE

[TinSnips]

apparently there are holes in some of the earlier models. Hex has them in his 07. Not sure of the cut off date though.

post up pics here when done, im keen to see how it looks

[tomholzy]

i replaced my boot badge with a VZ badge which is much smaller, pics are in my ride

A HSV badge on an Omega will look as gay as aids and people WILL laugh at you.

Mines an Oct 07 build and doesn't have holes.
What colour is your car? Maybe just paint your badge?

one off a s2 VE?

When i painted my badges black i asked at my local Holden dealer about the s2 rear badge being smaller and they said s1 and s2 rear badges are the same. I asked if he was sure and he said they have the same part number. I swear the s2 are smaller.

The rear holden deck lid badge is much smaller on the series 2 than a series 1. The diameter of the series 2 lion badge on the boot is approximately 75mm. Series 1 badge is 106mm (in diameter). I measured them today at work.. LOL..

As for them being the same part number, that's not true. Here are the following holden part numbers

Series 1 rear deck lid lion badge - Part No. 92202056 $13
Series 2 rear deck lid lion badge - Part No. 92222009 $7

Is the car a HSV??? If you don't then you will be a wannabe advertising said fact.

He probably just said they were the same to get more money out of me. Might have to go back and ask again.

I was going to pick them up today however, they didn't have the series 2 ones in stock. So I will pick them up in the morning. I'll post some pics so people can see the difference....

Yeah? I never noticed that before but that's a good move by Holden. Would have been nice if they could have come up with a smaller badge for the grille as well.

BTW - no holes behind my boot badge either. I removed it and left it clean...

[HEXEM]

Ok here are the boot lid lion badges for series1 & 2

Big difference...

Sorry photo quality is crap, took it with the iPone and while still in the bags.

[davey g-force]

Well I'll be...

[HEXEM]

Ok everyone,

I did the swap over of the badge tonight... Sorry for the crap photos taken with my iPhone... You'll notice that my rear boot has those stupid locator holes yet the badge didn't have little locator pins... go figure..

Anyway here are some photos... I think it makes the ass end look wider now... LOL You be the judge..

[TinSnips]

That's a bit more subtle. nice one

[Verynice]

nice man, need moar pics. good to see you put it on straight though , nothing worse than seeing a crooked lion....

[HEXEM]

I think so.. not so in your face... It does look better in the flesh.. My poor quality photos don't help...

haha, what you want more crap pics?... what do you need more of?
