    As long as you don't put Chevvy badges on it, I'd say it'd be fine.

    On the topic, I recently got my hands on a pair of Vauxhall badges (for me Astra), and they look mean! Do you guys reckon it'd be a good fit on the SV6, or only on the E-Series Clubby and Monaro which gets sold there under Vauxhall?

    yeah please FFS don't put chev badges! Lion pride all the way

    Vauxhall badges? really? I suppose it would be different. I'm not overly sure for an sv6. photochop maybe might convince me...

    i dunno, but i reckon play around (or get one of the guys like trayner on here) to photochop some stuff for you so you get a good idea visually. that would be the way I'd go

    You can't tell if it's an Exec or can't tell if it's a Clubby? It'd still be easy to pick as an Exec with a body kit.

    I might photoshop it first before i do anything drastic.

    What about instead of removing the badges, maybe move them around? The new VE SIDI badges are all higher up on the boot, its a bit different.

    Also, and I haven't had a good look yet, have they removed the commodore from the back, and just have SS or SV6? (On the new VE's that is)

    Same here, Scyth. Seriously i cant stand Chev badges, even on a SS. Saw another SV6 with em on. Im thinking why!!! Last time i checked there not built by Chevolet

    i would personally debadge my sv6 if i had 1, i did to my exec and it looks nicer i think and cleaner with just the holden badges on..i even took off the side ones under the blinkers...only cars i wouldnt debadge are calais, ss, clubby..all the higher end cars.
    Sticking a Chev badge on any Commodore is like putting a Nissan badge on a VL

    EOI....VE SS 18" wheels x4 with 5000k's on new tread, 2 of have very minimal gutter rash (previous owner) otherwise like new send me a pm if interested.

    Take the whole lot off IMO. Much cleaner without them. I took the badges off my VS, VZ, WM and Hiace.

    Nah, I like the look without the lion. I'd take the one off the back of the Stato but there is massive pin holes behind it



    Lucky for me it only has 1 badge on it from factory! Only the V8s have the extra badges.
