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.

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.

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