    Default Holden By Design

    I have a HBD Berlina but I'm not sure what the "by design" is. It has the badge at the back which led me to look at the car and I couldn't find anything that could have been a "by design" extra. I checked the plate under the bonnet and it has DLS. What's this stand for if anyone knows. Not really important, I'm just curious.

    Did you put the chev badge on? If not the previous owner may have just slapped the HBD badge on as well. Some people like different badges

    I put the Chev badge on. I thought so too but it has a Holden By Design Build plate under the bonnet with DLS stamped into it. Just want to know what it stands for.
