    The Commodore is sold as a Chev in the Middle east. Hence where the Chev badges are used by Holden in Australia. Also the Badges can be purchased in a Dealership here in Australia.
    So techincally people putting Chev Bagdes on there Commodores no different to putting an Opel Badge on a Opel Built Product that Holden Imported .
