I agree, I like the debadged look, it's just cleaner and tidier, and has the added benefit that nobody knows what it is hehe

Beautiful car.

Always thought this model would look its best without the nostrils though. Has anyone ever done that?


(although obviously that's also lowered, wheels, front splitter)

I like the nostrils, gives it a nice angry look at the front. Although that black car looks ace. The Vauxhall badges are looking a bit tatty, so I'm considering getting some holden ones so no one knows what it is, and then remove the monaro badge. I'll be leaving the V8 badges on though..biggrin

I assume the best place to buy would be ebay? Or are the any better alternatives? Cheers thumbup

I am a sucker for the bonnet vents, I love them! The Monaro badge for me is a must keep item... lot of history in that badge, it's the only one left on my car bar the 6.0 Litre/V8 badges on the flanks.

I think the vents suit the the rest of the HSV body kit, but there's a lot to be said for the understated look too.

That black GTO looks absolutely stunning.

I have a 'High Output 5.7 V8' badge instead of the Vauxhall on the back, looks good. Another key replacement is the front numberplate with a 5 character legal smaller plate (which I got from craigsplates) to fit in the recess underneath...
