Last week I was blasting round the bumpy, but clear, roads of sunny France and lost one of the wheel centres... anyone have any ideas of where I can get some replacements as the cheapo looking standard ones dont inspire me... cheers, Jon.

I presume you're talking about about the whole wheel-centre rather than just the gold/black adhesive disk?
Both my fronts came off on a track day a while back but luckily I found them!
Your dealer (or the factory) will be your best bet for a replacement. Not sure how much the whole centre costs but the adhesive disks are £5 each!
Cheers.... Andrew
PS. Why the need to abbreviate Tamora to Tam!

I lost the whole thing... I assumed it was just one piece, a plastic insert that fitted the wheel centre and was in a yellowy plastic....

I also assumed it was kinda 'unfinished' and the yellow was just the colour of the plastic. Are you saying that this is a sticker and its meant to look yellow?

Er, abbrev. (!) was cos I was in a hurry when I posted... J.

Correct. There's disks stuck onto the wheel centres and they come in gold, black with the TVR logo, and I think I've seen some in silver.
Cheers..... Andrew

bugga, sounds like I now need 4 x stickers and 1 x wheel centre.... hmmm....

Is the hole a standard size so that other people can offer alloy or similar replacements?

If the wheels (and hence the holes) are the same as the Tuscan should I cross post this to a wider audience who have older cars and thus are more likely to have replaced theirs?

cheers for all your help so far guys! Jon.

Jon, the spider alloys are available for all the Speed6 cars plus the later Cerberas so it would be worth posting on the General TVR board as someone may have a spare?
