Centre Caps

[Three Leons]

Well my new RS4s arrived less than 24 hours after ordering - not bad!! Only probem is they have come fitted with Audi badges on the centre caps - please tell me these are easy to get off/replace!! Otherwise I might as well have a 'Quattro' badge put on the back

Have a search AndyB made up some replacement centre caps for his LC (LCR look-a-like) back in the day.....quite a while back thinking about it, probably 2004...

I'm not too bothered about getting SEAT caps just yet, providing the wheels don't look too odd without any caps at all. After a search I can only find threads on removing the std Cupra alloy centres - what's the best way to get the Audi ones off? Couldn't find a notch to get a screwdriver in and I don't wan't to risk snapping anything

Might have to push them off from behind the wheel but that means taking the wheel off.

Wheels haven't gone on yet so this was (fairly) easy (some careful levering required ).

There is actually a narrow rim on which the chrome effect ring of the Audi cap sits - wondered if I could simply stick a flat badge onto this? Would have to be wider than the normal centre cap but saves hassle of the 'dome'

as done in me post

In your post it says you stuck the flat badge over the top of the domed cap (using the resin to build it up into a flat surface). I meant just sticking a badge straight on the wheel to cover the centre hole.

Or are we both actually saying the same thing?!

right mate sorry,but from what i can remember there wasnt a whole lot of area to stick a disc onto (lip around the centre hole) if you understand

Just done some measurements and the hole width is 60mm and the lip is an extra 5mm all the way around, so the flat disc would then have to be 70mm wide. 5mm should be enough to stick onto shouldn't it?

 

[Cowie]

suppose so mate

 

[Three Leons]

Cool, I'll just have to see if i can find some that width now!

 

[Cowie]
