I can't find the problem, I have three clips for three screws, maybe somethings missing

Possibly. Get someone to post up a photo of their VK and compare?

IMO these make the car look like it belongs in the 80's which i how OP wants it, would make an increadible show piece, a time capsule :)

Thanks everyone I really appreciate the comments and glad you like it :) I'm loving the mudflaps hehe plus the original onces with the lion logo are fair scarce now too! The badge has been taken off at this point, still not sure about it :p

For the future, I am thinking about saving and putting an injected 5L into it but on the other hand, the 202 was Holden's very first injected engine which makes me want to keep it as a historical thing aha

Edit: When I say Holden's first injected engine I should correct myself by excluding cars like the Camira and for you real die hard enthusiasts, Opal's and Vauxhalls late 70's injects Omega's and the like..
