VE Series 1 SS - Replacemtn Front Grille Honeycomb WITHOUT circular Holden Molding

[doccortex]

Hi,

I've searched the forums, but cant quite find what I need.

I am looking for a honeycomb VE SS grille ( same as standard ) , but WITHOUT the circular molding. I would like to replace the current grille, and instead, afix the standard VE SS badge. I have already removed all badges from the rear, and moved the SS badge to where the lion was originally. Alsorepainted the original grille Silver, and the current lion is black, so I think the standard SS badge on the front would suit very well, once a new grille is repainted.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Doc

A lot of VE owners have been looking for something similar, but there's nothing out there without the circle in the middle. Would have to be a custom job at this time unless something new has just hit the market.

Sorry, no. That is esentially the same as I have, but with a non-standard SS badge.

I want that grille, but flat, no molded circle. A little like those on older models.

Just as an after thought, some people have been saying the rear badge is "pinned". It definitely is not. Pertsonallyu, I think this looks hot.

Some are pinned some are not it is an age thing, 2009 and on are not pinned

Mines late 2008, so maybe just snuck into the unpinned category. Was a bit worried about that, having to weld, etc, sigh of relief when I found I didn't. Just out of interest, why did they go pinned anyway, with modern glues/tape, etc, what was the point ?

Thanks, I expected as much. Pity, probably a few bucks there for the person that can fabricate and build a mold. Wonder what that would cost ? Think a few getting together could perhaps share the cost ?
