After some long time working at it I have finally sorted the Paris wheel badge problem. The wheels hold up well but the badges tarnish badly and are not the usual Jaguar size. I spent some hours working on the artwork and gathering the materials I thought I needed to produce the repro badges. Unfortunately during the initial attempts there were more seconds than serviceable badges produced! I was pretty surprised at how difficult it was to cut circles accurately enough. Anyway here are the results of my Paris badge remakes. My friend now has a variant of these on his Aston Martin Lagonda! What do you think? Handmade so not quite up to BBS factory standard but better than the tarnished scrap that made a beautiful wheel look ugly!

 

Looks good.

Does Steve at SB Wheels Jaguar Original Equipment Alloy Wheels not stock replacements for the Paris?

You are correct Graham and he is very good but you have to buy the whole hubcap assembly for £125. I have only sorted the badges and not the whole assembly!!
Very best wishes,
Mike.
