Centre cap badges
Anyone know where to source decent quality 80mm badges for the 18 inch straights?

Hello Lee.
I drew them up and used Stickers International for domed resin replacements, but I couldn't get them to adhere properly to the centres as they aren't flat. The edge does not sit down properly. |

Thanks Ben, I've seen them on Ebay £18 for 4, they don't look very good tbh.
I used steering wheel badges last time, and they were a challenge to get to stick. I thought a member here was making them up, but can't find anything via the search. Hopefully someone here has found a good supplier.

Look up AlBonnies prints on Facebook or the groups area reps for Essex and contact Bonnie that way.
They make fantastic dome badges and have 100s of satisfied customers. They will make you either standard badges or custom designs.

Isn't Byron Rowson making them?
I replaced my old wheel badges with some from a set of new plastic center caps that came with the car. I glued them on and was feeling chuffed, but when I got back from my first drive with them on one fell off in my driveway. Two others were also missing. I retraced my route and was lucky to find one of the missing badges and ended up reusing the best of the old ones. When I reglued them I made sure to use a flexible adhesive. A year later and they are still on the car!

Centre Cap Badges
Hello Lee,
I refurbished my wheels during lockdown, I also refurbed the centre caps, ( ordered new ones from Rimmers wrong size) . I purchased adhesive badges from Classic Car Spares on the bay . They have been on the car since February, and no signs of them coming off . Hope this helps Martyn |
