New/Refurbished Badges
Discussion
Anyone know of any suppliers that sell decent replacement badges (front and back) for TVRs - in particular TVR T350c?
I'm looking to replace mine as they're looking a little tired now. I have contacted Leven Technologies who provide a refurbishement service - and will do that when they have sufficient numbers - however, if anyone is aware of anywhere I can buy new badges from - I may do that so I have 'spares'?
Thanks

Somebody on here had a batch of 'proper' TVR, T350C and SAGARIS boot badges made up in chromed steel with black ceramic... it was about 3 years ago mind... I bought two of the T350C badges and had the cheap plastic boot badge replaced with this, and at the same time had the Sagaris shark fin handle and hidden boot release button mod performed... lovely little finishing touch for the rear of a T350 imho.
Hopefully there's a chance the forum search facility can find the supplier as I have lost the details...
Alternatively, if I can find my spare T350C badge, I'll sell it to you as I sold my T350C last week

Thanks for the replies. I think RG was the only website I didn’t check...
When originally considering new badges, I did find a user on here that was able to supply enamel badges that appeared to be highly thought of by those who purchased them.
I have emailed this user although not had a response and being that the thread was x years old, I guess these are not available now.
As for the back/front plinths being the same - I’m not sure yet (although from memory I can't even picture a plinth around my front badge(?!) - I’m hoping to get some time to remove the badges at the weekend - prior to ordering. I'll let you know my findings.

What is this mod? Thought the boot release button was already hidden behind the badge?
Ah yes, i'd be interested in this too. Especially being that my boot release is currently refusing to do its job... an alternative/back-up route (bar the 'secret' way in) would be useful.Not being funny but have you tried using the search function on this forum? In most instances it will lead you to the answers. I've just "Advanced" searched for "Badge", in the past 8 years, on the Tamora, T350 & Sagaris Forum and bingo - top thread!

The T350C/T350T boot release badge becomes fixed, and a tiny button, like the one under the wing mirrors is mounted just above the number plate, hidden from view, to operate the boot. The Shark Fin handle is a lovely piece of aluminium making a proper handle to lift the tailgate so you don;t have to squeeze ur fingers under the glass... Checkout any Sag for a picture.
The Bonnet Badge is a sticky badge, and is much smaller than the T350C badge on the boot.
The Racing Green replacement badge is not a chromed/enameled replacement improvement like the ones made specially by aforementioned thread... If he can be persuaded to make a new batch I'd be interested for when I get a Sagaris...
The standard rear badges just degrade tooooo quickly...

I'll take the opportunity now to relocate the boot release button to ~above the number plate.
I'll also hold off with teh RG badges and try to contact the guy who supplied the enamel badges again - see if theres any chance of another batch...!

I thought that was where the boot release was anyway? Is it just later cars that have the button beside the number plate lamps?Checkout any Sag for a picture.
