Has anyone tried these self adhesive badges from this supplier?

Or recommend an alternative. They are for my OZ 8 spokes.

Thanks in advance

I don't know if they're exactly the same ones Joe, but I know someone who used stick ons like those and is still happy with them several years later.

When I had my wheels done a couple of years ago I got some new original wheel centres from TVR Power (I think...!), cost a bit more than those in your link though, £7 each seems to ring a bell (I know the breakers I spoke to wanted £20-£25 each at the time!!)

The trick to getting them to stick is to get it all warm with a hairdryer or similar first, and making sure its clean with some alcohol cleaner. Same for those bloody stick on rear view mirrors. Stick it on cold and it fallls off.

I had them made in TVR purple some time ago. Still unused in the garage because I got new centres when I bought other 8-spokes.

Mail me if you want more details.

I've had them on my wheels for two years now and they still look good. Just follow the instructions above and you'll be fine.

I have been pondering buying some of these stick on logo's myself, trouble is I have nothing to stick them to, where do you get the centre inserts from. Got temporary ones in at the moment but they are not right.

If you buy the centres, they come with the TVR Logos anyway Bob.

also depends on which wheels you have... I bought some for my new Imolas recently from Clevor Trevor and they are great for about £8 each. TVRcarparts used to sell the Oz 8 spokes too.

Hi I have a set of the stick on centres on my S1 wheels you just have to flatten out the dome effect on the originals to get them to stick better.
