A dealer? How about making one? Pretty easy to do with Styrene or a wooden dowl..

HI, first, I do not know exactly what one looks like and secondly, I stink at that kinda stuff and third, a nice, shiny, metal one, would fit the bill.

I dont know what one looks like either but maybe looking at some jets on the net would show one? Shiney, look for some aluminum.. cut a circle of the right size (a little larger maybe) and glue it on to the wing.
And dont sell yourself short .. you can probably can make one if ya just give it a go..

Go to the model shop and buy a model car with a shiny cap (radiator, gas, hubcap). It would be an expensive cap, but ...
How about a fuel dot? I know I've seen shiny aluminum dots.
Take a trip down the makeup isle at the store, you just might find some doodaad that'll fill the bill (and put a little color in your chee, ah, well, nevermind).
Listen to your inner child and don't forget the toy isle at the local discount mart. GI Joe just might have what you're looking for.
