Anyone got a VXR bonnet badge going spare?

Hi all - think mine must have 'gone' after a bonnet respray to clear stone chips. Thought maybe someone might have rebadged to HSV and have one knocking about. Willing to pay a fair price of course.

Regards

You mean the Griffin badge?

Yes - that's the one.

I have found the original Vauxhall bonnet badge if that's what you are after?

It is - is it the same badge for Monaro's and R8s? I see you have an R8.

[IanLWarrington]

Wow!

Will PM - thank you so much guys.

Best regards

Maybe I could open a shop!

Actually, I PM'd Mick for his - thank you for all of the offers.

Sorry Ian, it had slipped my mind, lots on my plate at the moment, I will get the R8 out the garage this weekend ad retrieve the badge off the shelf and get it sent off to you

NP. :-)

I have retrieved the badge from garage today, is it the one you want it measures 95mm across?

When I first saw your picture, I thought it looked a bit too shiny - but, I rooted out a picture of my old Monaro VXR (definitely the same badge) and it does look the same as regards the logo. I just had the impression that the original was more mat - maybe it's just because I've never seen one 'as new' as this one is. Perhaps someone can shed some light; I don't want to put you to the trouble of posting it if it's the wrong one.

If someone with a 2006 Monaro VXR wouldn't mind measuring theirs (oo err!) and confirming the dimensions, that would be great. Better still, if they could post a picture.

Cheers

Not a very good pic as I had to crop it out>>>

I have had a look on the internet and the Monaro VXR front badge is on the bonnet and the CV8 is on the grill and is a lot different.

Good point Mick - I shall try one of the other offers. Thank you for the offer. :-)

Best

I'm afraid that none of the kind offers produced the badge I needed - so I am still on the lookout for a Monaro VXR (2006) bonnet badge.

We now know that the CV8 an R8 are not the right ones though.

Anyone out there got one ... please?

Best

PM Me I got one from my 56 plate Monaro VXR - so long as it's where I think it is in my garage that is... it's yours...

Thank you.

Just a brief and public note of thanks to Chewie - bonnet badge arrived safe and sound today.

And also thank you to all of the others who offered and for the responses.

Result!

I assume I just use a Pritt Stick or a lump of Blu Tack to fix it.
