wing badge wanted
Morning all (including fellow old timers!). 
A couple of months ago I decided to get my wheelarches tidied up on the car (which involved letting in some new metal on one rear arch when the paint bubbling was properly inspected - waxoyl has now been applied between the wheel arches and the plastic liners to stop moisture being caught behind the wheel arch liners) and it kick started a more general tidying up job:
- new tyres
- new slotted/dimpled discs and pads (which took far too long as I had to drill out and re tap the retainer screws on the front discs!)
- tidied up the brake calipers
- MAP sensor and ICV cleaned (which remarkably did cure a hesitation around 4,500 rpm)
- gunmetal grey powder coat for my SSR alloys
- fixed some stereo glitches and a heat shield rattle
However, I've just driven into work and given the car an admiring glance as I walked away....only to notice one wing badge has been reduced to:
"S.....00"
The numbers "2" and "0" appear to have fallen off! I suspect (but cannot prove) that they were removed and badly stuck back on when the wheelarch work was done (although, in fairness, the local bodyshop did a really thorough job).
Does anyone have the wing letters gathering dust in their garage or could point me in the direction of a cheap source for replacement letters?
Cheers
Craig
PS Is there any mechanic/garage in the MIdlands area who/which has experience of installing a passenger airbag disable switch? It may extend the period of my S2000 ownership now I have two daughters (16 months and 3 years old).

I will check my garage when I get home tonight (in the unlikely scenario the missing badges didn't simply drop off the car whilst it was being reversed out the garage this morning) and I'll PM you either way.
