Silver plastic OE valve dust caps

[V12Vanquish]

Anyone know where I can buy at reasonable cost, a few of the OE silver plastic valve dust caps.
I'm missing a couple and the black plastic caps (all I can find) don't look right.

I bought a set from Nick Mee, search their site for 'valve caps' and they are now £20 a set. It depends if you think that's reasonable. They do look good and it's a nice bit of detail.

I want the original fitment plastic caps, not the dealer upgrade Aston Martin logo caps.
These should be pennies each, I just can't source them.

Is grey plastic okay?

Thanks, might do, I think I will order some and see what they are like.

The OEM TPMS valves fitted to my car (2008 V8VR) use a valve from a German company called Alligator and the silver caps have Alligator embossed on them.

Here is a link to a supplier

That's correct, they are Alligator valves. I have already emailed Alligator directly to see if I can get some, but as yet no reply.

These valves are now fitted to most European cars, I tried a few places the other day but no one had them.

Some of the metal caps will corrode onto the stems and break when you try to remove the cap if they have been on for a while. I don't fancy the AM logo caps, a bit OTT for me. I'm currently using black plastic but I don't like these either.

BMW also use the same TPMS valves as older Astons, I have a note of the BMW part number somewhere, but recall you could only buy a complete valve (with cap) for circa £20 each.
AM only supply the valve complete with the TRMS sensor for circa £120 each.

You will not get any joy from Alligator in Germany or their agent in the UK as I tried that route.
The will refer you to your AM Dealer.
I ended up fitting newer style diamond cut AM alloys that Works Service had for sale complete with new tyres, one benefit is that they supplied them with standard black valves and I disabled the TPMS on my car.
