    Default Chevrolet Grille for VZ Calais

    Does anyone know if anyone makes a Chevrolet Grille for a VZ Calais. There seems to be a Grille for every model of VZ except the Calais. I have been told it is because the Calais was never exported to the States and there is no genuine part for it.

    Has anyone managed to get an aftermarket one?

    According to my catalogue, Holden doesn't offer a Chev grille for the VZ Calais, but did for the VZ Berlina. Part No. 92162725 for the grille, 92162895 for the chrome escutcheon and 92162726 for the badge.

    As the grille opening was the same for Berlina and Calais, (I think), the Berlina grille would do the job for you.

    The Chevy badges were made for the Middle East, not the USA. The VZ was never exported to the US, at least not in four door form.

    i wonder if they made an V6 alloytech air plenum cover with a chev badge on it? rather then the holden badge? (not that i woud fit it just curious) just like when the VN was sold as a toyota lexcen but still retained GM and holden logos inside the engine bay and on parts

    Right, the Chev badge argument is to stop now. No bull shit, it's so boring and old it isn't even funny anymore. Let people do what they want to their cars and keep your pathetic comments to yourself.

    LMFAO. It doesn't matter what car he drives, (although now thinking about the other mods cars, Senator, Calais lolz), even if he had a VB SL with a 202 he's still be a mod.

    The problem is there have been about 6 threads in the last month all on the same thing, and all ended up locked or deleted.

    Personally i think we should have one thread for it still up, and stickied, but hey, what can ya do

    Tip of the day.

    Junior/New members with a total of 14 posts to their name should not give attitude to Long Time Members.

    Everyone has an attitude problem with this issue because its covered over and over and over and over and it's getting a little old.

    And when you have to go through thread upon thread of the same rubbish, it gets old.

    And ALWAYS has the same outcome... people lose their cool, say stupid things and the thread is closed.

    LOCK THE THREAD!

    The original poster has their answer with the link I posted... we all know where the thread heading from here...

    Yes, they are entitled to their opinion WHEN IT IS ASKED FOR. I don't recall ANYONE asking for opinions on Chev badges in this thread. When that thread arises please feel free to post your opinion but until it does please stop posting the same shit that ruins every other thread on these forums.

    Like i said, i know its been done to death, BUT, on the flip side, so have the 'where to buy chev badges' threads. Make one and sticky it so everyone who hates them (people without the imported 350) can have some fun. Maybe put it in the jokes section
