As above what size are they ?
Is it a matter of brute force to get them off ?
Where can i buy them at a reasonable price ?
-
Cant remember size of the top of my head. If the wheels off then you just tap them off from behind. If not, they are a bit of a barstewards. I was replacing mine so I just punched a screwdriver through each one and levered them out.
If you're after genuine replacements most dealers will have them on the shelf for a reasonable price. There are no genuine BBS replacements that fit so most people just buy the domed stickers off eBay and stick them over the originals.
-
mine are a mess so i will be punching a hole in them . I just need to know the size.
-
Why don't you remove one and measure it?
-
Thanks for the advice i didnt want to dig one out till i had some replacements.

Only place for caps for your Pescara's is the main dealer. They're 65mm face and 55mm rear and only come in the standard Black/Silver. Part number is 3B7601171XRW and fit the Monza's too.

I've just ordered some cheapies off ebay for £11 anything is better than the crappy small thinks I've got on there now!
-
i will be ordering off RPS online tomorrow
-
Good luck with RPS as they never bothered replying to my request for a quote.

I got cheap eBay ones, they lasted no time at all unfortunately.
Had to bite the bullet and get genuine ones, which was close to £50

i thought I'd let you all know, i ordered the above mentioned caps albeit cheapies or not and they didn't fit.. turns out i don't have Pescara's from the Edition 30 and i have OEM A3 alloys (almost identical to the Pescara's) spoke with a guy from PW Motorsport about BBS caps to fit and basically, although they are genuine wheels, they are OEM made by BBS (i know a lot of you may know that) so i can only get Audi centre caps. BBS centre caps are only available for aftermarket BBS wheels. When i say aftermarket i mean not OEM and genuine BBS.
i have managed to find some plastic universal centre caps on the bay for £6 so I'm going to buy them and then buy the £8.99 70mm BBS Stickers from the bay. (would rather all that than the Audi logo on a Golf GTI) :happy2:
