Phone Walkinshaw,They will sell you a set of replacement badges if you wish,and if they are in stock.
The set includes HSV boot,bonet,wheel centres,2x hsv badges for the wings ( or use where it says Vuxhall ).All in chromed plastic,and a " I just want one" vynl sticker for the rear? window.

ahh yes Leon Green. LG used to drag and race them. Had some awesome Supra's. Orange one I think.

Yes surprising how many here have had Supras. Mine was a 2000 imported. A late one with the VVTi engine. Great car but tuners killed it!!!!

yikes Hope you didn't rebadge a VXR8 as a Holden!! Others have been excommunicated for less!! If true, I fear a public flogging is in order.

mines been done. HSV to replace vauxhall name and badges.
V8 on the wings has been replaced with a V8-6.0 Litre so looking good.

While they were there I had the DVD system installed. Nice!.......

I've seen leon's car and I can most certainly confirm rebranded correctly as HSV not holden. Must add looks mighty fine aswell. thumbup
