Hi All
I’m sure this has been covered before but I cannot find any useful information on the search page. I am going to respray my Griff soon. I’ve managed to source all the rubbers from power so that good, but they cannot supply new badges or door kick plates. I’ve found a company that can renovate the badges. The only kick plates I can find are on eBay and they don’t look anything close to the originals.

Ideally I would prefer to buy new ones, does anyone know of a supplier? If I cannot buy new I guess they could be refurbished to an extent, once again does anyone know a company that can do this?

Gold badges look great, depending on your body colour. I am looking for gold rear badge, can’t see those anywhere.

On the Griff 500 I have now, the badge is silver and I had considered gold.

On my last Chimaera, the plastic / resin on the rear badge was cloudy so I broke it all off:



I scraped all the black off and refitted it. I'm not sure if some of these 'gold' badges are just standard alloy with the silver scraped off?

I didn't have a steady enough hand to repaint the letters so left it:

Hopefully the link works, I found a company in the midlands that can repair the badges. Apparently it’s who leven used back in the day.

My kick plate says Griffith 500 I was trying to keep the original. I may have to consider just Griffith if I cannot source them.

I can’t find any Chimaera kick plates either.
As they appear to be in such short supply, I would have thought that if anyone makes them at all one just saying TVR would be a good idea, which I for one would buy.
