.....
Mine IS saloon - so you are sayin that even on the facelift they use lugs on the back of the badge? Maybe a Holden badge then??

Facelift saloon definitely has two locating pins on the badge & so has 2 holes in the boot .....  ;)

Deffo looks good - the actual painted area is actually quite small so doesn't look odd with no badges.

Hard to justify a bodyshop price just for that mod though!  :-/

I'd say Griffins front and rear, they sit nice and central, whilst binning the omega/engine; or bin the griffs and keep 'omega' and the engine size.

But most of the time i see debadged cars it's because they want to keep the fact its a 1.1, or whatever, hidden!
