That's good news. I'll take a set. Might even buy 2 if they're any good!

Once my split rims are finally sorted I'll be refurbing the Amil's so these will be very handy.
Hi James, shall I put you down for two sets then? They are £4.50 a set? Will add on whatever the postage is at the time. Regards, Pete

Pete, are they purple background as originals or different?
Rather pay a bit more for somthing similar to the original.

Hi Paul, the ones I saw as examples on their website are black. I know what you mean as I have one original cap and the logo is metal and its a very dark blue background. I will have gold TVR logo on my badges as my Griffith and front TVR badge are special edition 'gold' coloured. I will ask if they can do a dark blue background. All the best, Pete

I would like to say a huge thanks to PeteGriff and FlipFlopGriff. I've just ordered 6 from the previous link, it was only £29.70 including postage as I made payment over the phone!

I will upload some pictures when they're powdercoated.

I have been searching the original centre caps for around 18 months; they're made of unobtanium.

What is happening about the domed TVR decals? I was corresponding with a helpful guy form PH via email about getting a batch made in the original colour; although I lost all hope of finding a suitable cap so it went no further.

I am probably going to go with the resin custom made ones I reported on above! I want a gold TVR logo and they are willing to do that. I don't mind a black background at all. As discussed before the original Gotti centre cap badges were domed, the only way now to get those is to have them made in aluminium and the logo screen printed! They would be very expensive! All the best, Pete

How about black with a purple (whatever the TVR colour is) TVR logo as this will set them apart from the Estorils. I've got a gold Griffith rear badge but have never seen one on a car - need to be more observant.

The gel decals I have - which won't fit I hasten to add - have a kind of a domed effect though don't they Pete?
I'm likely to be at Leven (PPC) tomorrow and will see what Paul has in his box of tricks.

Paul, that sounds like a more achievable solution, purple TVR logo. As I said I am going for Gold as I have gold front TVR and rear Griffith badges. I am also having a standard silver set just to compare. At £4.50 for 4 can't go wrong. I shall enquire re the purple before ordering.

Ian, yes you are correct the resin type badges do have a domed effect, but that is the resin filler, the logos are on the back so appear flat.

Regards, Pete

A quick update from me.
I talked to Paul at Leven today and he wasn't even vaguely interested.

Pete, put me down for a set of decals with black background and silver logo.
Put me down for 2 sets if you look like struggling to get numbers to make up an order mate and let's get cracking.

Thats the trouble Ian, nobody is interested! Before doing the dashboards and other bits I found that all outlets wanted to do was sell the existing TVR type stuff for stacks of cash! Have put you on the list mate. Regards, Pete

The six centre caps arrived this morning. I am amazed at how well they fit, so once again, a big thanks to you guys for finding them!

All six have been sent to the powdercoaters for a light blast and satin finish; not bad for £20. I anticipate they will be back on Wednesday.

I will finally be able to fit my freshly refurbished Gotti wheels biggrin

Pictures to follow.

Chris, did you take the aluminium disc with MG printed off before sending to powder coating? I took mine off, not only because I waned to put the new badges onto the flat cap surface, but also because they are stuck in with glue whig will melt when powder coated (done in ovens at 200C). Best regards, Pete
