Hey fellow Monaro CV8 owners.
Extreme long shot, I'm needing a few parts. Rear lower bumper insert (the one with the rear fog light) mine has been damaged, I'm guessing that some plank with a tow hook reversed into me and damaged the plastic. Another is the front black plastic trim that clips to the front upper radiator grill. The piece that the Chrome Holden Lion badge sits on ( some thieving scumbag has prised mine off, along with my rear Holden Lion badge 😡 and deeply scratched the paint (so gonna have to get the boot repared and painted) anyhow anyone that has one or can pass me onto someone who might have one I would be greatly appreciative.

Gary, known as "Raving" on this forum was a large source for second hand Monaro parts. 01989 565001 Sometimes difficult to get in contact with.
Speed 4 U is another.
Plenty of Aussie websites/eBay Oz will help.

Can find the rear badge on websites down here but not the front grille. Although I am being blocked by gumtree at the moment!

Huge thanks to all that have given info/contact details.
I have purchased both front and rear badges. Rear one will be put into the car once I have had the paint work corrected.
Been searching EBay Australia daily for over a year with no success to find the upper radiator grill. I have even contacted several Holden (no longer) dealerships in Australia to be told even they cannot source the part.
However there are a couple of similar parts on EBay designed to take the US Chevrolet "bow tie" logo. I'm wondering how hard it would be to convert to take the Holden badge?
Other to that if I cannot source the trim I could always modify my existing trim piece by carefully cutting out the honeycomb and replacing it with new, then somehow work out how to affix the new badge.

This was given to me from one of the dealerships so I at least have the correct parts numbers, but no good if non in stock anywhere.
