no badges looks so much sexier!! the front grille badge is ok tho

[PaRaDoX]

NO BADGES lol, they look ugly, i took all my calais ones off they were all faded but the blade which is sitting next to my gear selector now
and the 3.8L is sitting above the calais badge on the dash.. no badges outside, im thinkin of takin my boot lock off and smoothing that over... and just using the remote to open the boot or the button in the glove box.. would look diffrent

hey

does anyone have any tricks to repaint the lexan V6 badge on the grill. anything would be great.

cheers

de solv it and a cloth did the rest for me

[pro_gmh]

Yer mate take off the center badge and shave your bootlock

[ben k]

shave bootlock..?

is there anything i could fill/cover the keylock with to look as if not there

after taking badge off yes.

hey guys

With the boot lock how can i smooth it over. Do i use body filler and then just sand it down then paint over it or do i get a holden boot badge and stick it on. See i rather have no key lock there and no badge so what do i do??

Thanks Guys i would like u to add your 5 cents please.

take the boot lock off, make sure you've got an electronic boot pop first tho haha. take your lock out, fill it with bog, sand it to a nice even finish, take the time to make it right. lay some primer over, then respray it n give it a quick clear coat. if you have the time and equipment, respray the whole boot.

Hey Premmy186

I don't have the button on my key only the button in the glove box and i was just thinking of just putting body filler over the lock would that work. or would it stuff the lock and not be able to open the boot.??

Thanks

[premmy186]

well obviously if you cover the lock you wont be able to open, so your button works i assume? have a look into the lid of the boot, disconnect the lock and just leave the button to take care of things, pop ur lock out and fill it, that way if ur that worried you cant smash the filler back out and put the lock back in.

[pro_gmh]

Just took my badges of the boot, paint chips grrr. ohwell my boot needs a respray neway.

[IhateRICE!]

hey all

i got fishing line and then slowly pulled it back and forth and that got rid of the badge. then i just peeled the back tape off and then hit it with polish and come out good. And with that boot lock i just went and took the lock out and bogged it up just need it to be sprayed looks sweet. i took the time to make it look shmick

Hey all
