Just realised our new 500 Chim has a Chimaera (gold - not a fan) rear badge without the 500...

Searched high and low on the bay, but cant find one - anyone know where to get one?

Agreed, similar prices at a couple of other places as well.

I reckon ebay, or the classifieds on here will be the best best.

At that price, perhaps they really do mean "gold" and "silver"? scratchchin

Keep an eye on eBay - I managed to pick up a 450 badge for £12. Pretty sure there was a 500 one pretty recently as well

Mainly as I don't like the gold one it has on, and would rather it was stock as the factory intended.

Then it has the correct badge! The 500 badge was introduced in '98.
