Nose Cone Badge

[Brightonuk]

Great time at the track but seem to have lost the nose cone badge 

Any ideas on where to source one from?

Bad news. In my experience that specific badge is very hard to source. Usually only on the used market in the UK and it is typically pretty desired. 

 

If I were in your shoes your easiest and quickest replacement option would be to get a regular new black badge, or any other badge that fits and put that style sticker you see above over it. There are a few 7 owners on FB that are vinyl masters and could likely do it rather easy.

These seem to fall into the "impossible to find" parts like the center caps for my SLR wheels

Here is mine flying off

I am going back to the track tomorrow as I kinda know where it flew off at the 0.12sec mark

Wow good catch! If it wasn't a complicated/annoying fix I'd bet you'd find this bit humorous. 

 

Fixing embed, not sure why it's giving you issues

Sorry for your trouble, but I had to laugh. The video is hilarious. It would be great for that meme - "I must go, my people need me"

It really ejected itself with purpose - straight up.

Redline?

Think I’m going to safety wire mine!

Just walked the track for an hour with the missus but no luck 

I found a place in the Netherlands that has a replica 36 bucks 

I was going to order one from Caterham as well (black) not the same but should match the cars finish

I'd still order one from Caterham/Redline as well.

 

An alternative is still getting a vinyl overlay over the new badge to make the style change. Alastair member on FB group does those, I can share some examples.

Please do
