Not bad. Not perfect but with a little more effort it won't be too bad. I'll call the marks Patina!

Here's a seller in Italy with four new ones for €120 plus shipping if the badge doesn't come up to expectations! Just need to get a consortium together otherwise you're speculating!

I wish I'd seen them first....I know, I should've asked

**tipo158** · 13-09-2012, 15:14

Yea, I purchasd a set of those, gave one to Paul.

I managed to find one locally, an old Fulvia saloon hub cap for $5 that had never been on a car. Can't believe my luck.

What depth should these be? The outer circle is probably the best place for a reference. One on a previous thread seems thinner than what I have at the minute. (see pic attached)

The outer ring should be the same depth as the flag centre section so that it all sits flush on the bodywork. There are other similar Lancia grill badges out there made of decent metal (Flavia I think) but the outer ring is twice the depth so there'd be a gap under the centre of the badge.
Best bet is the Fulvia Sedan hubcap which seem to still be available new in Italy.
