Replacement Alpina Centre Cap Badges

I've got a set of genuine 16" Alpina rims, and I'm getting the centre caps resprayed, which means goodbye original badges. They needed replaced anyway, but I'm struggling to find a decent quality replacement. The ones I got on eBay made me dry-boke, they were so bad!
I've found a couple
here and
here which do look close, and are the right size, but I'm nervous about getting them and them not fitting or being crap reps. Anybody come across a good source for genuine or reasonable quality replicas?

TBH, you can still get these from the stealers, and I would if you have a set of Genuine Alpinas.

Really? I know you can get the entire centre cap, didn't know you could get the badge on its own. I'll give them a try tomorrow.

All Apina wheel parts are available, apart from the wheels

As Rav says, the dealer can get them fr you, but they may(most likely) require an Alpina chassis number.
Alternatively, bring a rim and centre cap with you.

They can be a bit funny when it comes to Alpina stock.hence the remark re chassis number
Conner
Probably cost around £35-£40 for a set of 4 or thereabouts

That sounds totally reasonable. Here's hoping! Anybody on here got a copy of the alpina parts list? I've found the E30 Alpina brochure (in German), but not a full parts list like the guys in the dealership would have.

Badges are £32 from the stealers.
Take a read below, i think Kieran has quoted part numbers to.

Sorry, I read Alpina and instantly assumed the worst (which in most cases is true!)
