rear boot/lock badge?

My boot lion badge first became chipped and flaked off and now it has fallen off altogether. I know this is a common problem as I have seen loads of 406's with the same issue. I don't seem to be able to find a replacement, even my ebay searching has drawn a blank. I noticed someone on here has them made but I sent them a message a few weeks ago and had no reply.
This is the offending part, just in case what I wrote doesn't make sense (more than likely the case

)
I only need the actual 2 part lion badge.
Thanks in advance.

Well, the guy that was making them is busy studying
However, seeing as i'm out of pocket to a set of clocks, which he was supposed to be making me a set of white dials for I can tell the truth
The quality isn't very good, and mine was full of air bubbles - he sent me a replacement which also was full of air bubbles, and when I mentioned it, got all arsey about how long it took to make, and spat his dummy - if I had been funny about it, one thing, but I wasn't, but hey ho, if that's the way he wants to be, then I hope karma comes and kicks him in the butt
Best alternative, if ebay is drawing a blank, is colour code the existing badge to your car, and do what Tatsfield did over on the coupe club, and stick a lion badge over the top of it - available off the bay - if you liked, you could if you so like use the latest pug lion

I will consider remaking one myself, I can probably make the 2 part badge itself out of fiber glass and sticker over the top of it... off searching for pug lion stickers..

That is painful. 5 of their badges would be nearly equal to the price I paid for the whole car
