Having found my centre caps I have a ropy set of 4 made of Chinesium for "everyday" use, plus a genuine set for "show" and a spare. All brushed style.
The spare, oddly, is the polished type and is apparently unused but with a couple of minor "dings" round the edge (ref MJs comments earlier probably) though I store it in bubble wrap.
I'm DEFINITELY interested in Adrian's one then to have as my "show" spare and would then happily move on the polished one if anyone is in need.
(I'll PM you Adrian  )
PS. I also have a set of the original polished type that were so bad that I dismantled and repainted them myself... Terribly. It wasn't really an improvement. 
These are truly ugly now, with dirty peeling paint, so I keep them in the car to put on whenever I visit somewhere with suspect parking; just in case someone does decide to nick them...
