Title: BBS centre caps 15" alloys
Post by: walchy01 on 17 February 2010, 19:31

Hi there

I have just had my BBS RA's refurbed and am now wanting to replace the plastic BBS centre caps for some shiney new one's, does anyone know where these can be replaced and what sort of cost.

They are the one's with grey backing and black BBS wrote accross them.

Thanks

 :grin:

I am in the same boat as you, just had the RAs refurbished.

I ordered new centre caps from these guys http://www.pwmotorsport.com/Catalogue.aspx?cId=14&pId=18#Catalog1 (they have an ebay shop too).

They are the UK's only official BBS stockist (apparently) which means that what you get is the genuine article.

Mine arrived in the post yesterday and they look stunning!  Identical to the originals, but all perfect and shiny  :cool:

Have you tried the dealers?

Lots of people seem to have new ones for sale on ebay for around £30 posted. I bought some, and when they arrived they were genuine vw parts.

It could be like the door speaker grille scam. £30 from ebay or £16 from the dealer.

Yeah. If you want to get them off ebay, just search "BBS RA" and there are loads around that price.

I tried them, but they told me that the caps were obsolete!  They then tried selling me some crappy standard VW ones in their place, needless to say, I told them I would give it a miss.  :grin:
