Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
true lol, i think most agree that its not there cup of tea top put them on but each to there own i guessHaven't we had enough yay/nay chev badge threads??? They're crap. the end.
####ing hell, the bloke asked for where to get them not for 50 people saying "It's not a chevy".
One person said it, that's enough. You guys are like those people who stand there repeatably pushing the buttons at a pedestrian crossing.
Only problem is mate.... one person saying it ISN'T enough. There's still silly buggers out there thinking it's 'cool' to do so.
Alright..... I'm only going to bother typing this out once and then in the future other folks interested in putting Chev (or any other) badge on their car, can do so with at least a little more information to consider before doing it. (hopefully they use Search and find it!)
As i understand it, the Melbourne plant makes 4 different V6's for export worldwide.... a 2.8L, 3.0L, 3.2L, and 3.6L.
They go to pretty much every continent on the planet, to car makers in Germany, China, South Africa, Mexico, and a stack of other places.
Some of these car makers are Opel, Saab, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and some others too.
Does this mean you can put a Saab badge on the front of your Holden? Well yes.... nothings stopping you. Just commonsense. Plus, no one else is doing it.
But just because others are putting on different car maker badges onto their car, doesnt make it any more 'right'.
1000 fools who label their car a Chev, doesnt make it a Chev anymore than 1000 fools who label it a Saab.... or BMW, or Ferrari.
They just look silly.
And this is why these threads always turn into a yay/nay discussion on why you 'shouldn't. Because it's silly to badge a car in a different make, regardless of any similarities with 'some' of it's components.
Maybe I'll put a Merc emblem on the front of the beast.... or better yet Jag or Rolls Royce :idea:
Or maybe not. I dont want to look like a fool .
This isnt like putting on a body kit or making your car more of a custom look. This is like putting a "turbo" sticker on an NA car... false advertising and blatently obvious to anyone reading it.
Anyway, enough said. If people still want to do it- fine. But least you know why people are laughing at you next time .
/end rant (i'll never comment on rebadging a car ever again )
find me a blue holden badge and i will take my chev badges off =D
