FAQ's

• Are the bonnet badges the same size as my original badge?

Yes. Badges are same size as original speedline TVR badges. The threaded lugs are spaced the same distance apart so are easy to swap.

• What are the badges made of?

Badges are copper stamped filled with vitreous (hard) enamel, heated to high temperatures as part of the process, and then plated in either Chrome or Gold. A lacquer is applied to gold badges to add further protection. NB: do not confuse with cheaper resin filled badges, vitreous enamel badges are made to last. Please note that due to the process and minerals used in the production of the enamel colours there may be some naturally occurring small black marks in the enamel but these are hardly noticeable.

• How do I remove a Chimaera bonnet badge and fit my new badge?

On a Chimaera, badges are held on by 2 nuts under the bonnet. This may be hidden by the silver under bonnet heat shield which can be moved out of the way to gain access. Other models are similar. New badges are supplied with new nuts to hold in place. An 8mm spanner/socket is required for the M5 nuts. It is important to not overtighten the badges as this may damage the badges. Just nip them up carefully so they are held in place.

• What model TVR's will the badges fit?

Badges will fit the bonnet of any TVR's which have the speedline badge such as Chimaera, Griffith, Cerbera, Tuscan, V8S and Wedges. Some owners have also fitted to Tamora & T350's after modification to fill the recessed oval when having a front end respray.

• I've seen union flag badges on other TVR's, are these the same?

Union flag badges have been previously supplied by us. From 2024 there is a new improved design which has been adjusted to be the same outline as original speedline badges. These are made to the same quality as previous Union flag TVR badges you may have seen.

• Can I get a custom colour enamel / plating?

Not currently offered but please email with any custom colour requests. If there is enough demand this may be possible in the future but 1 off badges would be expensive to produce.
