HSV Badges

[siovey]

Hi Chaps, I've had the car for a month now and love it! I'm starting now to tart it up a little do will be getting it resprayed to remove stone chips etc and properly detailed to remove the little scratches (hopefully!!). My Vauxhall badges are looking a little tired so will be coming off. I fancy putting some HSV badges on in place and was wondering where the best place is to buy them from? Would it be eBay? Are there any recommended sellers?
Cheers
Simon

Monkfish sell complete badge kits but they are £190 and that doesn't include wheel centres.

If it's just an HSV bonnet badge you're after then you should be able to pick up a genuine one for about £30-40 from
Oz.

They would be perfect! Would they fit a CV8 though?

Ah didn't realise you had a CV8, I don't see why they wouldn't I'm sure walkinshaw will confirm.

CV8 should have Holden badges, not HSV. It would be a bit like putting M3 badges on a 318, or AMG badges on a C180 - but your call.

Holden badges are cheaper though.

Even if the 318 was more powerful than the m3?

Seriously though, if it should be Holden then I'll get them.
Thanks for the advice

I` m going to be thick now

But, does the `H` in HSV not stand for Holden, what is the difference.

I think i've seen this before, but cannot remember the reason.

I know what you're getting at, but 318, how very dare you!

318 is pretty harsh.

...Maybe 335

Leave me alone, please! I wasn't saying a CV8 was like a 318 at all!

Look on Oz Ebay. I bought all mine from there, even my Holden engine cover

As said. HSV is a different brand. And if yours was a HSV would have a plate on it. But it's not a Vauxhall. The plaque proves that. So get Holden badges they will still look cool and are correct for the car.

Aye, no worries. I'll be ordering the Holden badges this weekend
