Hi All
Just wondering what size wheel center caps you need for Monza II 18"?
Seem to be 58mm or 62mm not sure what to ask for.
Thanks in advance.
Lee
p.s. If anyone know the part number even better.

Same part for both Monza 17's and 18's.
3B7 601 171 XRW

Cheers RR - do you know the size? Tempted by some BBS ones
-
^^^^
Finding BBS caps to fit the Monza's is extremely difficult - Nothing BBS had got would fit when myself and others looked and asked about a year or so ago.
-
Typical.
Thanks for the info.
May go down the route of some blank caps and BBS decals.
eBay here I come.

I got a mate to make me some plain carbonfibre ones for my Monza's. But I got nice OZ wheels with their own carbon centrecaps now.

.........they make some of the wheels for VW so you would think they would make some caps for them ?. Having said that i replaced the centre caps on my edition 30 alloys last week & they look really good again now the ''white'' worm has gone.

Hi Gene,
Yes, you really would think that BBS wheels might have some conformity of centrecap sizes but alas, no. I was amazed in a very disappointing way when I first spotted white worm on my plastic centrecaps - It was extremely unexpected.

Thats it Robin as when you look back at the mk1 & mk 2 GTI's that had the bbs alloys they had the caps with bbs badges !!!. :laugh:

Im getting a bit white worm on some of mine - how much are they to replace?
-
There not bad about 6-7 quid each inc VAT. A mate works for VW so got me discount on mine.
-
£7 each?! :surprised:
I need to change all 4 on mine!
Can they be claimed under warranty?
-
Still don't know what size I need :sad:
Seen these? http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260504071591&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:CA:1123
Plus a BBS sticker?

........you could try mate. If BBS did make the centre caps they would be a hell of a lot more than 7 quid. :happy2:

Just had mine replaced for the second time just a week before my warranty expires.
-
yeah i was gonna play the warranty card. Im off on thursday so was going to take a trip to VW then.
-
I looked at this a while ago, think its supposed to be 56mm centre. The centre caps for BBS wheels supplied with Subaru's could possibly be made to fit.

Anyone replacing your old center caps I would be interested in the old ones.
Just want to see what I can do to get the BBS look.
Cheers

Went to stealers on Thursday - swapped the four center caps over no problems. All Covered under warrenty.
Swapped them over while i waited.
Very impressed - I thought it was going to be a major hassle half an hour i was there max.

Just bought a set of 4 from VW (Birmingham) for our 18" Monzas for just under £26.
