Wanting to paint Omega badge

Nice find, Mike!

looks easy enough, it should hold fine with only the top 4 screws on anyway

I will try moding the locating tabs to find the best fit

Will up pics afterwards

Cheers tinny and Mike. i just messaged NickVR to see if he has any pics from when he did it he says none of the tabs fit tho and you have to secure it somehow differently.. ill see what he comes back with.. Cheers

To be honest, you could probably cut the tabs off and re-fix them with epoxy in the omega locations. They're not taking a great deal of weight, just stopping the grille from buffeting around.

I brought a series 2 grille (honeycomb ) and it fit onto the omega front without changing. The only thing wrong was that it didn't follow the shape of the car. I was gonna cut new locating slots into the bumper so the grille would sit further out.
Just a thought!

VE HOLDEN COMMODORE FRONT GRILLE (eBay item 250801968546 end time 14-Apr-11 13:49:53 AEST) : Cars, Bikes, Boats

Lets hope it fits fine

alocrocks PLEASE let me know how you go and please throw some pics up.. Good luck

As requested here is the pics from my attempt

Things went alright, i knew it was not going to be a prefect fit

What i firstly had to do was cut the two side connectors off, as it would not fit without it

Now i have the problem of the connectors for the bottom sticking out

I heard the guy in the other fourm say to cut them all off and use something like Epoxy to secure it to the bumbper, this might be my only option, the top connections are all fine
