    Default VY BErlina Chev Bow tie badge for front grille

    I know that they dont make the whole front grille with the chev bow tie badge for VY Berlina/Calais but i was wondering if anyone has found a solution for this? Maybe just a badge the pops in to replace the Holden badge in the original grille?

    The badges don't clip on, they're part of the grille.

    *edited, didn't know you could buy the grille for VY. Learn something new everyday.

    Yes I just dropped into my local wedding attire shop and got one. It's quite hard to keep clean though.

    Best bet would be to measure the size of your grille badge and compare it to an SS one. If its the same size you could replace it with something like this.

    Just ignore the chev haters, I see this everytime I fire the ute up purely because it annoys them so much.

    As the OP stated, this thread is about HOW to change the badges on his car. Don't turn the thread into another 'It's not a Chev so why would you' thread. There's already enough halfwits starting those threads or turning it into one.
