Title: Centre caps
Post by: Vwgtiking 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?

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.
