Hi all just wondered if anyone had succesfully removed the vauxhall badge from the centre of the steering wheel of a VXR8 , and found a replacement badge? My new wheel centres are the Walkinshaw ones . Im debadging my phantom black one and having wheels painted black I also have the Walkinshaw front light covers which are made from a darkened platic. and a reduced size front no plate that fits in the recess provided properly (full size no plate looks c***) I think this look enhances the car bigtime next job the Wartec exhaust and maybe a supercharger one day funds permitting. So can anyone help with my steering wheel badge please.

Hi Mate and welcome to the site. Walkinshaws are the usual suspects here, or you could try having a skim through www. holmart.com.au

Yea ive actually got Walkinshaw wheel centres but they wont touch steering wheels cos of the airbag , Ive read in another thread that you can pry them off but where to get a replacement ??? Im off to Monkfish soon to look at the Wortec switchable exhaust so ill try there then maybe OZ (Bit anal and a snobbish thing to do really) but it would be nice to do it all properly now ive started it .

Well considering Oz owners badge theirs Chev or Pontiac and US owners do theirs Holden, it all seems pretty pointless to me.
You will probably even find some down under badging theirs Vaxuhall's

very true richard but if the guys saw what cars over here that are running around with chev badges on them id say there would be less of that
