Tuscan rear badge renewal

[MrChips]

So I may have just broken the corner of the enamel of the rear boot badge on my mk2 Tuscan.
Anyone got any recommendations for somewhere that can refurb it or supply a new enamel section to stick on?

I've seen some places on eBay but they state around 3 weeks turn around and I vaguely remember a thread on here about people waiting longer?

It's a Tuscan S badge which seems to have the "S" actually as a raised part of the metal backing plate if that helps?

Hi Dave I think I've got a gold S badge somewhere, it's never been on car.

Woah Dave slippery slope there...get a gold badge on the back and you'll need a gold one on the front, then new wheel centers, new CF Airbox,CF Seatbacks, retrim, engine upgrade...etc

Dave,

How about trying the people mentioned in this thread and get a custom one made up?

Is this why your called MrChips ?

I had a new one fitted from TVR Ecosse, I believe they have them in stock normally and it looks good. I'd take a photo but the car is currently best part of 100 miles away.

OK, back on topic for a change... I need a few opinions on the options cos I'm an indecisive bd.

So, the car is painted in a light metallic blue, and the badge was re-done by Leven soon after the car was new and and changed to have a deep blue backing as opposed to the standard black.

So, i'm thinking of doing either:
Get the current one refurbed in the same dark blue (although 3 weeks seems a long time!)
Get a silver Tuscan badge from Dom (just waiting to see if these are enamelled)
Get a new backing plate and have a badge made up like this 4.3 one. This would be the cheapest solution but the stick-on badge might not look as premium.

Here's the current badge:








Um..... Help!!

4.3! It makes it even more special doesn't it?

[BlackpoolRock]

Yep 4.3 enamel. It looks great in that picture.

[Richie C]

Agree with Calvin, flaunt the 4.3!

Dave if you change the badge on the rear it would be rude not to change the seat backs too
