A couple of weeks ago I parked my S2 near the seafront with the top down for an hour. Came back to find the acrylic disc missing from the centre of the steering wheel, searched the car but no sign.... Nicked by aliens to pimp their saucer? Mistaken for a shell by a passing seagull or stolen by a squirrel looking for shiny things? Can’t think why anyone would bother to prize out a plastic TVR decal without doing any other damage or taking anything else. It seemed to be well glued in and I wasn’t aware of it coming loose.
Now my problem is to find a replacement, i’ve searched the internet looking at decals, badges, key fobs and anything else I can think of, but without success. Can anyone suggest where I can obtain one. The recess in the wheel is 28mm diameter . Any suggestions gratefully received.

thank you Griffinr, very much appreciated. How did you do that? You make it look easy. I had googled every combination of words I could think of and must have looked at dozens of adverts. Thanks again - now on order.

Wot he said, trick is choosing right key words.
Does help if you've previously bought one for yourself of course.

I wonder what the squirrels do with them?
I mean I could understand them pinching yer nuts, but not TVR steering wheel centre badges.

scratchchin Aha! Perhaps a badger took it........

I reckon your right. one claw behind the badge - ping - and another one for their collection! I'll dig out the pile of clutter behind the seats, there could be a whole herd of them burrowed in there. I thought all the squeaking noises were coming from the rear suspension, but now I know better.

Aaah, it would be a shame to break up the sett! frown

Edit: Just been googling, the collective name for badgers is "a cete".
So you could have a cete behind your seats.

Have a look & see if they've also nicked the "Cerbera" badge from the back of your TVR.
