Replacing Alloy VW Badges

[nelmser]

Just bought these from eBay:

Turns out I bought the wrong size so I'll have to reorder.... 

Are these easy to fit? I don't really want to remove the wheels... They look like they can just clip in?

It's a lot easier it you remove the wheels as they just push out from behind. You can use a flathead or similar to tease them out but you run the risk of damage.

If the old ones are finished (whiteworm) just drill a small hole in them - this allows you to pull them off (your prefered method - small screw and Pliers for me) without removing the wheels - new ones then just press in by hand!

Job done in minutes, if not and you want to keep the old ones - wheels off and knock out from the rear of the wheel.

As above, if they have whiteworm then drill a wee hole (carefully) and Roberts your mothers brother. If you want to keep them. Then use a plastic trim tool.

What size are the standard centre caps for 18 inch monzas?

[doylebros]

Best measure the ones fitted  - 65mm outside diameter rings a bell though!

What size are the standard centre caps for 18 inch monzas?

Size is 65mm outside and 55mm inside IIRC. If you need it, the OEM part number is 3B7601171XRW and they cost about £7.50 each.

Easiest way is to tap a hole with a small screwdriver then prise them out.....simples.
