One of the "TVR" centre badges on a wheel has gone missing (nicked?).

Mine are standard Imola wheels.

I have found the following on Clever Trevor, but it says it's for the Estoril wheels. The size seems approximately right though:

Does anyone know whether these will fit the Imola wheels?

Alternatively, does anyone know where I can get a replacement badge for an Imola wheel?




Edited to add: Just found the following, which looks right...

Edited again: Or do I need this? #confused

Realised that the link to the Clever Trevor part says "Still got the wheel centre but the badges are looking tired?"

So that product won't do, because the whole wheel centre has gone.

Looks like I probably need the product in the third link I posted, at £17+vat, which I guess means I won't be treating the car to a full set of new ones. Hey, it's only money...

The pop-out wheel centres are ubiquitous, you just need the 63.2mm variety. The 60mm badges are available from Leven for about £12 for 4.

I bought these to replace the tired badges on mine

You'll need the 60 mm Dia for the Imola's but as you suggest you will need to buy one of the plastic centres as well.
Might be a cheaper way of getting all 4 looking the same.

Ah, that's great, thanks. So I can get the wheel centres elsewhere and get four badges to go on them.

This is the kind of thing.....you just need to measure the existing ones accurately first, as this is approx the correct size
