V8s wheel centre caps

[ric p]

Next bit of the plan is to put the car back on its original v8s wheels that came as spares rather than the Chimaera wheels it came with.
Got them tyre-ed and ready to go but no centre caps. I assume that they were black plastic with the TVR logo on them. Can anyone confirm or give me a source for replacement?
Thanks in advance.

So we have gone from:


To this:


Which is more in keeping with the age/look of the car. And 2020 tyres not 2011.

And note the new gold pinstripe and v8s script on the side to my own design!

There was someone on here a few months ago who was making them on his 3D printer. Maybe worth a search?

The genuine OZ centre caps (M-075a) are getting scarce, if you search old posts on here you'll find one or two alternatives owners have come up with.

There was a guy, Andy Hills, on the S Series FaceBook Group 3D printing some?

I have a few spares stashed away for a 'rainy day'

Yes, Andy is the man to go to.

I bought a set from him recently and he has improved the design so there are no plastic lugs on the back which was always the weak point of the original design. They 'pop' into place perfectly, well, they did on my wheels anyway. You will need to get a set of domed TVR stickers but they are readily available on Ebay.
After the time and effort I spent on restoring my eight spokes I think they were worth every penny.

PM me if you would like Andy's email.

How many pennies?

Lots and lots but with savings I made doing the wheels myself I was happy enough to spend a few.

Here's a pic of what mine looked like (photo dated 2005).
