85 VS plastic wheel trim was created by Alan Hutton
I lost a plastic wheel trim - must have gone around that corner too quickly!!
It is for a UK 1985 VS alloy wheel just like the one pictured, shaped like a 50p coin.
Found one from a UK parts place but didn't want to pay out £65 !! for it.
Can anyone help please?

Thanks Garry but already chatted with Charlie some weeks ago and he didn't have any. Think the guy with these wheels didn't have any trims.
Still looking.....

Yeah, ok, just had to bite the gulp! £63 bullet and ordered one.
I had seen that before but baulked at the price and was looking elsewhere for something not as expensive.
Hey ho, perhaps it's the Scottish in me, it just seemed so much for a wee bit plastic.

HoHum, well its on now, poor me! But good idea.
Not sure just how easy to match the texture of the original and guess the colour would need to be sprayed with some kind of colour matched plastic paint.
No experience with the 3D printers plastic material and its longevity on a wheel over temperature and vibration although some of the exotic printers
seem to be making state of the art progress.
