So you've noticed that the T350 exterior badges are cheap & nasty objects. For my Tam I went to Leven and replaced the rear badge with a gold one. No joy in obtaining a replacement for the T350 from the same source. Am I condemned to endless replacements of factory tat or is there are better alternative?? Details details I know.
Gold badge 
You could try Lexus or the Elizabeth Duke counter at Argos.
I've not seen any aftermarket T350 badges. I even thought about getting my nose badge smoothed over if and when I have a nose stone chip respray. Have you tried making a formal request to Leven? They usually make this kind of thing once demand is there.

Er, forgive my ignorance, but what is a "Birmingham screwdriver" ?
My front badge is a fairly normal TVR logo - I'm sure Leven sell them already. Only the rear one says T350, but on the later cars it is just a glue-on jobby (not the boot button) - I'm sure Leven would make some if demand was there. Or they'd do you a one-off if you offer enough cash...
I quite like the image of you nailing one of these on; amusingly disrespectful, if you see what I mean. Use a proper nail-gun, though, for added style.

Good suggestion. But I spoke to them today and they cannot help due to TVR plc copyright. I am now foxed as to where I sourced the Tam boot badge. This was a chunky black & gold job that fitted into the recess and was just the job. I'm sure it was Leven but they say not. I'll speak to my dealer and see what they reckon.

Well a Birmingham screwdriver is the same as an Irish one. I've heard them called hammers too! As someone once said: "Every DIY job either starts or ends with a hammer."

Agreed. Gold badges are way too bling for me!
I am humbled. Please do not call me bling. Look I'll go for black or steel or whatever is unBling so long as it's not crappy plastic! My apologies to all T350 owners for even suggesting that I make one of our models even remotely resemble a ... Griff!

The "chrome" is cheap and nasty and corrodes. The "badge" bit is basically just a sticky backed insert. I "think" I have some spare 350 "badges" at home, I might have a cpl of Tamora badges also. Who wants/needs what?
I wouldn't say no!
(mine's got more Humbrol than original black paint on it now! )Bugger, I knew I shouldnt have made it a blanket question! Why is it, as soon as one person says they want/need anything and you pipe up that you might have a cpl spare, half a dozen all suddenly appear?
Ill have a look for you all tonight and see what I have, be warned though, it is a *very* limited leftovers supply. Do any of you need new chrome supplies?
Perennial question I suppose I might aswell ask...who still needs a new clutch, who is going to need one soon and doesnt want to face the Will I/Wont I TVR clutch situation?

Good man. I hope you are not oversubscribed. But do count me in if there are any going. Cheers
