Hi guys,
I have been trying for some time to track down one of the Hogs Breath grille badges for my Au. I've just found a thread on it but no mention on where to get one. It was an old thread but can anyone point me in the right direction of where to get one, or does anyone have one I can buy please? Cheers......Pete! 👍🏼😎 |

What are these? Seen ford badges replaced by the angry pink hog. A promotional badge or company car badge ?

It replaced the Ford badge on the 888 racing Falcons a few years back.

Didn't mean to be rude, it's just that Ford built your car. Not Hog's Breath Cafe. And unless Hog's Breath are paying you (like they paid the tossers at 888), I can't see why you would want to advertise their crappy restaurant by covering up the Ford badge that some Aussie stuck to that car with pride when he built it.
Won't somebody think of the children?? |

Anyway, I digress. I dont think they will be available now, T8 did sell them in 09 to replace your ford badge, but as said above, only for B & F Series. You would have to get them made up for AU. You need to find a good clear picture of one, and take it to a sign writer to get printed up and affixed to a standard ford badge. Although, there was an ebay member that sold black Ford badges awhile ago (3+ years) so maybe it can be made from scratch. This bloke does XR badges to replace the original ford ones, maybe he can do something for you. http://www.ebay.com.au/cln/steve6274...%3D2%26pid%3D1

i tried to buy some for my AU back when the 888/ford issues were happening. but i could only ever find the in B series or F series sizes from memory. The AU badges were a different size and the ones available wouldn't fit

I don't see how 4 posts has anything to do with my question. The reason I asked for one had nothing to do with hogs breath or racing. I have been a mad keen pig hunter all my life & I still do it. I am 59yrs old and still fit. I want the badge simply because of what it is, a pig badge. I also don't own a VN or any other commodore/Holden. I don't understand why you had to be so sarcastic towards another member or just another Aussie for that case? I asked in a polite & civil way for this item & that is just how I am. I am sorry if I offended anyone by asking for this. Cheers.........Pete!

The difficulty with your post and question is the absence of images. You will be much better served by showing (rather than telling us) what you want.

I'm sorry, I have tried twice to upload the pic but it just won't let me. It is within the size limit so I don't know what I'm doing wrong. As a computer nerd I make a good pig hunter. 😎

Is there a certain post limit on asking certain questions or are you just being rude to this poor bloke!

Was in 2009 I believe.
They were a limited run, 500 from memory, and were snapped up super fast. Will be hard to track one down and it wont be a new one. Love or hate the reason they exist, they are somewhat of a collectors piece. wikipedia : Quote:

888 also refused to acknowledge the cars they were driving were Fords or even Falcons, instead referring to them as Hogsters.
They went on to win the Championship in the Ford and then took the no #1 sticker and slapped it on a Holden the following year. |

Any Ford fan would easily remember the badge in the grille, why should he have to post a picture up? And what's with the negativity? Mummy didn't give you the boob after 6 months?
