Holden Accessories: Custom Dash Mats and Bonnet Protection

Few badges are as woven into Australian motoring as Holden, and plenty of Commodores, Colorados and classics are still earning their keep on the road. This hub pulls together the custom-fit protection that keeps them presentable, from Sunland and Sperling dash mats to OCAM bonnet protectors, headlight guards and weathershields. Whether you drive a late-model Colorado ute, a much-loved VE Commodore or a genuine classic like a Torana or Kingswood, there is a good chance of a tailored fit here across more than one product type.

Dash mats cut for every Holden era

The Sunland and Sperling dash mats reach right across the Holden timeline. Modern owners are covered on the Colorado, Captiva, Spark MP and Viva, while enthusiasts will find patterns for the Monaro CV8, the Statesman and Caprice, the Torana LJ, the Rodeo TF and RA, and the Statesman Kingswood from the 1970s. Each mat is pattern-cut to its specific dash, with cut-outs left clear of vents, sensors and airbags, and most are offered in your choice of charcoal or black.

Commodore, from VT to VF

The Commodore is the backbone of this collection. Bonnet protectors, headlight guards and weathershields span the VT, VU and VX, the VY and VZ, the VE and the final VF, with fitment noted for sedan, wagon and ute body styles. On a car that has become a modern classic, keeping stone chips off the bonnet and haze off the headlights helps a tidy Commodore stay tidy, and the OCAM guards clip on using the car's own mounting points with no drilling required.

OCAM bonnet and headlight protection

At highway speed the leading edge of the bonnet takes the worst of the stones and insects, and an OCAM bonnet protector deflects that debris up and over the paint. The range covers Holdens from the Captiva and Colorado through to the Commodore and the Rodeo, in tinted and clear finishes. Matching headlight protectors are available for many models to keep the lenses clear, and replacement clip kits let you refresh an ageing guard rather than replace the whole thing.

Colorado and the working utes

For the tradie end of the range, the Colorado is well served across the RC and RG generations, along with the Colorado 7 wagon and the Trailblazer MY17. A ute that spends its days on gravel roads and building sites benefits from a bonnet protector out front and weathershields on the doors, and the older Rodeo RA and TF are covered too for owners still running one hard. These are cheap pieces of insurance against the kind of driving that marks paint, pits glass and slowly wears a working ute down, and fitting them early keeps the vehicle presenting well through years of hard use.

Weathershields for airflow and comfort

Weathershield visors pair naturally with the bonnet protectors, and many Holden models are offered with both. Fitted to the window frames, they let you leave a window cracked for ventilation in the heat or the rain without the weather getting in, and they take the buffeting out of an open window on the highway. On a Commodore or Captiva they finish the exterior neatly and add a practical touch you notice on every warm day.

Preserving a piece of Australian history

With Holden no longer building cars, the models that remain are only becoming more valued, and originality counts for more every year. An uncracked dash, chip-free paint and clear headlights all help a Commodore, Monaro or Torana hold its condition and its worth. Fitting protection early, before the sun and the road have done their damage, is the way to keep one of these cars looking the way its owner remembers it.

How to shop the Holden range

Decide first what you want to guard, the dash from sun and glare, the bonnet from stones, or the windows for airflow, then click into that category for the complete model list. Each product title spells out the model, series and year, so check it against your Holden before buying, as body shapes shifted between generations. Fitting the pieces together gives an older Holden a consistent, cared-for finish that does justice to the badge.
