    Default VS badge on a VR

    hey all, my rear badge on my VR is coming lose, a m8 said its a good time to swap them for VS badges, the front it being held on with double sided tape.

    what glue do they use to stick it on?

    would the holes match the bonnet and boot with the VS badge?

    no glue needed it will come with special adhesive.
    the holes dont match but what i did is cut the pins off the VS badge and just stuck the new badge over the the holes.
    looks factory

    oh yeah one more thing, you said it comes with an adhesive? is that like some strong-assed super glue in a tube they send you as well as the badges?

    They come with double sided tape, I put a VE lion badge on mine - just make sure you cover the holes and you won't need to worry about water getting into your boot

    If you are looking for some badges and find some on ebay, check the holden dealer first before buying. The ebay price might be fairly reasonable, but they are usually cheaper straight from holden - and you dont have to pay postage.

    I need a new bootlid one. Some little pricks stole the back one, i got it back but they gave me a front one not a rear one. If anyone has a spare front one I am willing to swap otherwise if i sell the car soon someone is welcome to just have it.

    i had them put on me old vr, it looks 100% better aswell, if ya dont trust the double sided sticky tape then just squirt some super glue around the holes and that should hold it pretty good once its dry
