No your right saying that Andrew , Rob and myself laughed as the ford grill badges were all different blues . But I sat for ages trying to peel the front off even used a watchmakers magnifier to look

I've just checked on the CCI website and it states in the description that they "produced in plastic - print silver and grey to give original look".
It's funny that Andy's CCI ones are blue though.

Re: Capri 28i Special/280 wheel center badges
Yes I went on to eBay looking at the capris for sale and they look more blue , like saying here’s some blueberry pie and it’s got a hint of green because that’s how the mother in law makes it .
In Steve’s new book I never see this mention about the wheels . Perhaps he missed a bit out
Page 178 does say ford said “ The pinto engine was the best engine in the world “

If you zoom in on the pic of my wheel, they are grey too which is how the originals were apparently.Andrew 2.8i wrote: ↑Thu Aug 08, 2019 8:44 pmHi Jason,Jasonmarie wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2019 6:36 pm that is what they have sent threw they look to grey to me ?

The ones on my original wheels looked exactly like the ones you have. Was missing one, so bought a set off Ian, you wont be dissapointed if you have his (and they're blue ) . Good luck.

They do look good.
Even if blue isn't the correct colour for these badges, they definitely look better than the grey ones.
