I've re-laquered it as a quick fix, but I may either get it re-painted by the dealer or see if I can get a painted one from a MINI parts supplier (the dealer may start with the S vin number thing again if I try and order a pre-painted one from them!

)

R1, try the seller I got my cap from. I think he paints them himself and they look absolutely mint. He might be able to sell you just the painted surround. his user id is algerone. Here's a link to one of his auctions:

might be worth a try
