Embossed center caps

Scottish 944 · **Posted:** Wed Feb 02, 2011 10:54 am

Hi guys
I have been refurbing a set of 3 piece splits with another club member and all I need to finish them off are some metal embosed center caps, commonly found on tele dials. Does anyone have a set of these for sale, and if so how much.

Cheers

I have a set which maybe available in the next week or so. They came with my 944 turbo teledials and are in need of paint. They are metal and have a raised Porsche crest on them.

I'm looking for colour crested plastic caps at a reasonable price - do you have anything like this?

Hi Rav

The ones I am looking for have the crest set back into the center cap. This is so I can colour code the crest to the center of the wheel and mirror polish the rest of the cap.

As for your plastic caps I am unable to help. If anything should crop up Ill be sure to let you know.

Cheers mate.

the guy that repaired the curbed rim and painted them has done a great job.

@ t3rra - Cheers mate, but they will have to be metal ones so that I can polish them up. Thanks for the offer though.

@ frenchy - They sound like just the ticket. How much would you be looking to get for them.

So, was it just a case off painting with a rattle can? No curbing in need repairs.

Good job

Yeah they have been painted with Halfords finest in Ford Solar gold.
At least two of the wheels had bad curbing, Roy took care of this and did a pretty damn good job too. I dont have any pics of the curb damage to show just how bad they were.

The wheels look very good, can't wait to see them on the car.

BTW, did you get my email?
