Chev badges on Holdens

[ben315vz]

Is this great debate ever going to end?

How about we all just take the Holden or Chev badges off our cars and put a "JC" sticker in it's place instead.

How come no-one puts Vauxhall badges on their Commodores? :rofl2:

Not if you keep bumping the thread up and refusing to just let it die...

Oh...

Putting a Chev badge on a Commo is like Michael Jackson trying to look white! Maybe Holden should put a sensor under the lion that throws a CEL error if it is removed ;-) lol.

A bit off topic but a photo of the Volt in the local rag definitely shows that the space allocated for the Chev badge on the grille leaves the "bowtie" showing behind the Holden badge in production models.

Looks really tacky.

the chev badges are getting worse, i see them all the time now, saw 4 of them today on my way home from work, and one of them was an omega :banstick:

A merc three pointed star would fit in the grill better than a Chevy.:smoking:

Definitely silly.

Uuurgh, you're right! I reckon that's ordinary.

Unless they claim it was done on purpose as a nod to their parent company? Even then... yuck!

Still off topic but I really like the look of the Volt (with the exeption of that badge detail). However, I can't see why they couldn't have come up with a mask to cover the bowtie spot before attaching the Holden insignia. Obviously, the centre bar is part of the front bumper facia so a completely new part just to accommodate the badge would not make economic sense, but they went to the trouble of new upper and lower grille inserts to take the round insignia, then left the centre bar untouched.
