Are they cheaper to buy in Australia than special order from a Vauxhall dealer in the UK?

I'm talking things like badges, horn push covers, etc.

I may purchase some badges and other Holden branded things while I'm in that part of the world if it's cheaper than buying it here...

Possible less as in 5 finger discount less

My uncle gets left with badges lying all over his desk by the mechanics.. and My Uncle who runs the car club has about 20 lying around after restoring them..

i can get any Holden Badge that you see on any holden car... i just sold four to mates for £10

Astra F should still be on the newer shape badges... the Circled ones i believe like the griffin but with a lion...

Will Email my Uncles see what they can do for me

Also Just to let you know the Holden Astra Does not come with a V-Grille... so that might be a hard push..

yup i know what they look like... I've seen more mk3's than i can count...

Problem is the Astra F in Australia does not come with the V-grill as it's not a Vauxhall.. it may have to be a full grill

Vauxhall dealers over here can get all of the badges used on any of the vauxhalls, holdens, opels, dodge cars (and I think its dodge? they use this brand over in Brazil and places like that)

So no need to go all the way to Australia just get down to your local Vauxhall dealership
