Hi all,
That old chestnut again. My facelift CV8 has the original Vauxhall wheel centre caps fitted with domed badges with the Holden logo from www.domedbadges.co.uk
I'm about to get my wheels refinished in Anthracite and it looks like the centre caps need a bit of a tidy up too. However, it looks like www.domedbadges.co.uk don't exist anymore.
So my options are to leave as is, get some generic darker ones from eBay, or continue with my futile search for some decent replacements.
Anyone have any recommendations for domed badge providers please? I reckon the badge needs to be about 60mm diameter.

Yes, as I said, they seem to have ceased trading.

Why not just get the centres painted too?

They can make at 60mm diameter.

They are just stickers though not caps. How long do you think they will last?
