 Badges After a pair of new round blue bonnet and boot badges, does anyone know where I could get them? Is it even worth trying Westfield?
Had a frightening quote for paint, because of bits of crazing etc. So I'm going to do all the prep myself and then have someone paint it over winter and for the time being just try and polish the gel coat up, new badges and get some miles in.

Re: Badges There is somebody on fleabay makes them, I had some rectangular old style form my coupe, but I can't remember the company name, think it was "Time Capsule" look on GTM Coupe or Libre think you will find his advert.

Re: Badges They look good That was the chap that i supplied the artwork to. Took ages to get the correct typeface sorted. Had to get the artwork designer at work to sort it. Don't know which font GTM used originally but we couldn't find it - & i work at a printers where we have 1000's of different fonts available! He ended up designing the 'M' from scratch, to get an exact match to the original.

Re: Badges Its not 'bookman old style'.
Below is a copy of it (& my original GTM badge) and you'll see the 'm' is completely wrong. The uprights on the ends are vertical when they should be sloping. The M on the original GTM badges is more like an upside down W, but then the serifs are wrong.
I'm a bit pedantic over this as its my job to get fine detail like this correct for customers at work.
