Shimano 105 Brake lever bit - help

Page may contain affiliate links. Please see terms for details.
I came off my road bike at the end of last year and scuffed the silver section just underneath the hoods and one of the levers. No problems thought I - I can sand the areas down, fill in any gouges and then spray them - especially as functionally the brakes are fine. I've done this and they look smart again. One problem!

The area around the Shimano 105 decal was unaffected so I masked this bit off and sprayed the affected areas. Unfortunately when I removed the maskign tape the decals came off too. Now I'm not going to spent £170 replacing the brake levers just for a couple of decals - but I gather the "silver bit" of the brake level mechanism can be bought separately foir about £10 and fitted. The problem is I don't know what it's called.

Can anyone tell me?
 
You want a 105 5700 Nameplate.

You can get coloured ones so it makes it look as though you are loaded and have colour matched the bike. Sorry just seen the price

As I've just found out. Have a left and a right ordered. If I'd known that a week ago it would have saved me a load of hassle. Oh well, live and learn.

Cheers ^_^

Btw: went for the normal silver - I'm not loaded!!
