Centre caps
« on: January 01, 2016, 11:33:00 am »
Am after VW centre caps for my ch reps. Having measure mine the face needs to be anything from 65-68mm and clip 62mm. I can't find any with the clip size I require.

Anyone know of any or links on eBay?

There's no where else to get them for the size I require.

They have the measurements wrong as if you look at them. They are 65 mm across the top and 62 mm internal clip. as I said I've bought these cheap cr** and only fitted three on in January 2014 and may 2014 come they have faded and the black turned grey. I've now lacquered the last one and will see how long this takes to discolour if at all as the lacquer cote may save it.

look at the picture and you can see that the whole cap is 65 mm and the clips are a few mm in. message the seller for reassurance.

Yes don't be frightened and make sure you buy a can of lacquer and do as I did as they are cheap for a reason  :happy2:
