lindatr4 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 So which one guys and gals? https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/medallion-bonnet-tr4-white-blue-705950.html https://parts.trgb.co.uk/collections/badges-and-motifs/products/tr4-bonnet-badge Probably answering my own question here but one sounds like a cheap replica. Anyone purchased either? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR NIALL Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 I’d say they are both Replicas and probably from the same Company,the Cheap one would do me as I’m sure TRGB would use these themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 If the expensive one lasts 30 year and the cheap one lasts only ten years then get the cheap one. It works out the same price but you get a new badge every ten years. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR5tar Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Or, how about making an offer for this one that is said to be original ... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TR4-badge/163112460642?hash=item25fa42a162:g:OGkAAOSw7btay8sm Cheers, Darren P.S. No relationship with the seller. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR 2100 Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) The Moss item is definitely a repro - you can tell from the diameter of the fixing pin. Hard to believe the other option is anything but a repro but at least at a sensible price. There was a problem some years back with the repro items having a slightly different curvature to the bonnet. Maybe new stock repros have sorted this out. What price, I wonder, for a NOS Stanpart item? Or, for that matter, re-enamelling, though the exact correct colour may be difficult to guarantee. Anyone experience of this? (Edit: That eBay item is a repro - again, you can tell from the pin diameter (original was a smaller diameter). AlanR Edited June 27, 2018 by TR 2100 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
