    The Possibilities

    Small Round Holden Lions:
    They won't cover all 3 holes, maybe 1 or 2 at best.
    Probably best to fill all 3 holes and place the badge centrally.
    Whichever one fits the curvature best and visually looks "right".



    This guy has used an old Holden Calais badge to cover just the bottom hole.




    Here are the dimensions of the VN Calais Hood badge


    You can see from the cracked paint how old this badge is. They are no longer available new from Holden.

    There are some that look similar (I think they might be knock-offs) available on ebay. Seller = sparescity


    Or you can buy online from Rare Spares out of Australia.
    Their website shows International Prices (no 10% tax) for Export...
    Prices are still in AUD$.
    The filenames of each of these pictures below,
    co-incides with the Rare Spares Part Number.

    Other Possible Contenders

    I do not have any dimensions or any other pics of these.
    Rare Spares are the vendor. Contact them (by e-mail) and ask.
    Filenames are their Part Numbers.













    This one is off a Ford

    I like this one.

    Since I have some damage to my front bumper that needs painting, maybe I can change the badge too.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!
