After taking the T350c over to Le Mans last weekend, some "car enthusiasts" obviously liked the oval TVR badge so much that they decided to prise it off one night with a screwdriver.
I don't really fancy the trek to a dealer to get it fixed, so can anyone suggest where I can order one from online - I'm after the oval TVR badge, as fixed to the T350. I had a look at ebay but it surprisingly didn't seem to have any available...

It might be worth trying Dom Trickett at TVR Power ??

My son went to LeMans in his Lotus Elise and they had 3 cars with nicked badges. The damage done costs more than the badge. Some nasty little +++++++ around isnt there.
A spell in the army is whats needed and a good kick up their arses, there are soldiers in Iraq fighting and getting killed to give us a better world to live in.The little shits should be sent out there as cannon fodder.
Thanks for the replies. Yeah - it was exceptionally annoying and not what I wanted for the first visit to Le Mans. There was a porsche parked near me that also had it's badge ripped off and I heard about it happening to a few Lotuses as well in the blue camping site. Not good.
As for the replacement, thanks for the note Sen 18. The badge type is a raised oval, held down by double sided tape. It's not one of the flat stick on types that I believe a few of the later cars came with (?) The recess size is 119 mm long and c 44 mm at the higher point. I guess therefore the 105mm badge may well be the right one. If this sounds right it would be great if you can drop me a PM with what you want for it.

In days of yore, I had a VW when the Beastie Boys were around. Only thing worse than their music was the scrotes that thought it cool to prise off my VW badges to hang around their scrawny necks 
It is alleged that a car not at all dissimilar to mine had razor blades fitted between the grilles either side of the VW front badge. It is further alleged that after parking up all day, the owner returned to find car still avec badge, but in addition, blood stains on front grille/bumper. When tested later it was revealed to be genuine scrote-blood
Unfortunately this tale does not help grille-less T350/Tam owners, except for possibly a slight warm chuckly feeling inside......
