Xk8 paris wheel badge problem sorted!
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!

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