I've got a set attached to some 280i wheels I may be willing to sell at a bargain price 
They're the ones on the silver cup-shape-things that fit in the middle of the lattice type alloys.
I have 4 of them but a badge is missing from one.
Also I think I remember an article on wedgepages about making a replacement for them. Mike should know.
Ignore me if that's what you were taking about.

Christopher Neil ?
I´ll give them a call tomorrow. I´ve read the article 45 times by now and i must say i fancy the the "updated looks". Doesn´t make my 350 a real Tuscan(shame..), but it should make the TVR logo more visible to the ignorant swedish crowd. If i can´t track them down this week, you´ll here from me bobfrance (i have ONE badge left..) !
Thanx guys. New i could count on you.

Ok, sorted that problem in 2,5 minutes.. Christopher Neil will send them asap.
Thanks Danny.
For us located a million miles from UK i wonder: Who is the, in general, best dealer(TVR parts) to contact ? Maybee Mike could arrange a list(downloadable excel chart easiest way Mike?) where different dealers can be rated after, speed, skills, general satisfaction etc.. Our judgement is forwarded by mailing honest
Mike.
I´m not shure it´s a matter of course that Wedge Automotive or Tower View would top that list, despite there good reputation even here. You guys may know better !

Hi chaps,
Thought I'd better mention as well that there are actually several different sizes of chrome wheel centre caps. TVR used slightly different lattice alloys across the production of the wedges and the caps are different (depth and diameter).
Just in case you thought of buying a second hand set off another owner you had first better check that the part numbers moulded inside of the caps match.
The replacement badges article on the wedge site was written about the earlier type of centre cap. I have the larger later type and the badges still fitted but I needed to 'fill out' the extra space with a little more glue.

Got 4 badges today from Christopher Neil. 6,33 a piece, totally 31£. Sorry to say this but, ONCE AGAIN, i´m NOT happy with the way dealers from UK treat (foreign?)customers. I got 3 badges stick on aluminum plates and one "soft" badge, same size, but with a logo in different size !!! Sadly, i´m getting used to this by now.. One more on my "black list" !

BengtIt´s ok Danny. Problem is that it get´s expensive to send stuff back and forth to UK all the time. This one is ok, but it was worse a year ago, when i ordered a roll bar, it arrived, and guess, one of five main parts was missing...(and a friend of mine couldn´t use his at all since it didn´t FIT) That made me long for my stolen(!) 330hp mint Sapphire Cosworth; Well, at least for a while.
