I’ve just bought an SSV an it’s got Chevy badges on it that I am taking off
But what the heck is the go?
Cause I’ve seen a bunch of them with the exact same badges front & rear!
Is it just people who thought it was a cool idea when chev an holden where getting friendly or what?

each one gives you plus 50 bogan points. and if you replace all of them it's like a multiplier. go full bogan with the addition of a cap or better yet chev jacket!

why have a Chev badge on a Holden? NFI
as there is NOTHING in a VE SS that is made by
Chevrolet or sold by Chevrolet to Holden

The V8 engine comes from GM Powertrain
and the gearboxs ?auto from GM Powertrain
and manual from tremec

Unfortunately, there are people that will argue till their blue n the face that the engines are Chev.

The VF Commodore sedan was sold in the United States as a performance vehicle under the name of Chevrolet SS

Maybe they sent your car to the U.S just to send it back to you as a CHEV LOL

Chev badges on a Commodore are just so yesterday.
Pull them off. and put a Daewoo or Opel badge on. No mang factor, but they are the latest and coolest stealth factor.

The odd thing is that in the days when Holdens had proper Chev small blocks, we didn't rip off the lions and replace them with bow ties. Just knowing what was under bonnet was good enough. They were Holdens and we were proud of the fact.
