At long last i finally got round to rebadging my Ro...Nothing earth shattering there but here`s my point !
Did anyone else get that daft grin when they discovered the holden shaped recess under the vauxhall grill badge. I dont know what i was expecting to find under there but i gotta say when i`d finished both ends, i just stood there grinning like an idiot !! I`m sure its quicker now !

I suppose it's a bit like the HSV badge under the numberplate on the VXR8s. smile

Gotta get me one of them gel badges for the steering wheel now. I know they`ve been talked about before but i would appreciate it if anyone could give me a contact for them. I seem to remember some photos of the re-fit and someone else saying they layed the new badge straight over the old one ?
By the way, is it safe to go back over to the Lambo thread ?? Getting a bit prickly over there for a while !

I was glad to see the Holden Lion there. For a nasty moment there I thought I'd bought a Vauxhall!

I posted some information about the steering wheel badges, but was asked to remove it. Which I agreed of course.

I got my original set from Tim at LSV.

I've PM'd you both some info.

I was told to be careful of the gel badges on the steering wheel, something to do with them causing injury if the airbag were to deploy yikes Don't know how true it is.
Anyway the Lambo thread got locked. We tend to stick together on here and don't like people coming in just to cause trouble.

Suppose anything stuck on could become a missile if forced forward quickly enough...hope no one gets to find out.

Don't the centres flip up then? Is it a tear through jobby when the bag's deployed?

BTW O/T anyone seen Rocklandboy's profile - he's done one.... sad to see someone leave ultimately over a comment on a different forum.

Can't see how it can be true TBH Mel. I got a Holden gel badge made up and stuck it on top of the METAL Vauxhall badge. Probably injure me less if the bag goes off!

I have recently used this company www.domedbadge.co.uk that another member found and ordered 2 VXR gel badges for the sill plates, they don't have HSV as standard on there site but they do have the Holden Lion. You can submit your own design but it was not working when I went on there. The badges I ordered turned out OK, just need to fit them.

If you do change the steering wheel one, remove the VX one first, dead easy, just e few miuntes with a hairdryer and it peels straight off, the new gel one will then sit nicely in the recess. i managed to get a HSV badge many moons ago thumbup don't see them anymore tho frown

If you are normal you'll be fine, Have an opinion by all means but if you are in to stir it up then that's when you get shot down like the 'Puma kid'.

We don't mind if your not local, So not so much Banjo Country, more like one big family....and Mel is the Godfather! err mother...you know what I mean.

To be honest, i`m not sure if i qualify as normal and i really do play the banjo but dont hold that against me! Deepest respect to "The Godmother"
Oh yeah,and thanks Mel for the heads up on the forehead stamp, i`ll bear that in mind !!
