Title: BBS RA REPLACEMENT WHEEL CENTRE BADGES
Post by: PAUL 964 on 21 March 2011, 14:44

I have just managed to source a small quantity of proper replacement metal badges to suit the BBS RA wheel centre caps and I should have these available from tomorrow night.

The part no. of the caps that these badges fit is 165 601 171. It is the silver badge with BBS in white with a black 3d effect outline and a fine black line around the outside. These are approx 48mm in diameter.

These are no longer available from BBS or VW. If you order replacement caps from VW they will now come with a carbon fibre badge.

If you want to keep the original look and replace a missing or corroded set of badges, this is what you will need.

These will be priced at £11.99 for a complete set of 4. This will include 1st class postage within the UK.

I don't know how to upload images, but will hapilly email pictures upon request when these are available.

Thanks Paul

Yes, when they land I will be sure to let you all know. Unfortunately the tracking number given to me when I bought these was wrong - just waiting on the correct number to give a more accurate date for them to arrive... Thanks for your patience Paul

Royal Mail delivered my parcel of BBS cap badges today but to an address in Huddersfield as there was a mix up. The person who got them by mistake is posting them to me tomorrow. I should have them by Thursday. Can anyone help me upload a photograph or upload one for me if I sent it by email to them.. Thanks in advance Paul

hi guys new to this forum,,
i had trouble sourcing these for my mk1 so after contemplating what to do i made my own using card and some clear laquer, i decided to go for something different than a BBS logo and instead chose a logo from a comic movie this case The watchmen.
lemme know whatcha think  :)

Are you doubting my honesty?  I will hapilly charge more to cover the Paypal fees.

 Please feel free to check my feedback rating on eBay if you have any concerns what so ever

and make up your own mind, thanks Paul

Post by: PAUL 964 on 24 March 2011, 12:30

Yes why? The items being offered are 100% as described and will be posted to anyone who wants to buy a set or sets. I am not out to rip anyone off but begrudge Paypal always looking for their cut which ultimately pushes the price up for everyone. Paul

You are accepting card payments on the internet, why would PayPal run that for free?

You are also trading on the forum:

I have listed these on Ebay  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260757966381  these are now £13.99 from Ebay as aparently it is wrong to offer these cheaper to forum members who wished to buy direct... :sad:

Title: Re: BBS RA REPLACEMENT WHEEL CENTRE BADGES
Post by: PAUL 964 on 24 March 2011, 19:07

Thanks to those who have contacted me and paid for their badges. They have been posted 1st class post earlier today. Please remember to clean the surface of the old caps well before sticking these on. Paul

Good job. Thanks for letting me know, Paul

Title: Re: BBS RA REPLACEMENT WHEEL CENTRE BADGES
Post by: andyholli on 27 March 2011, 20:02

Received mine next day, thank you Paul.

Quality is excellent - possibly even better than the originals as they feel to be made from slightly thicker aluminium. Maybe 1mm smaller in diameter but who's going to notice...

Cheers Paul. - Good job.
 :wink:

Title: Re: BBS RA REPLACEMENT WHEEL CENTRE BADGES
Post by: PAUL 964 on 27 March 2011, 20:07

Yes the quality is spot on. Thanks for letting me know they have arrived ok, Paul

Post by: X4MGS on 27 March 2011, 20:14

Mine fitted today;

(http://i987.photobucket.com/albums/ae358/LeS2Audi/For%20Sale%20Items/bbs-ra-3-11-2.jpg)

I also noticed the size was a little smaller... I also took the old ones off, rather than fitting them over the top...

Title: Re: BBS RA REPLACEMENT WHEEL CENTRE BADGES
Post by: PAUL 964 on 27 March 2011, 20:22

They look well. They are about .8 of a milimeter smaller than my originals. Which ensures that they fit the recess as shown in your photos. You don't have a before picture by any chance or pictures of the old badges to show the vast improvement these have made? Paul

Title: Re: BBS RA REPLACEMENT WHEEL CENTRE BADGES
Post by: X4MGS on 27 March 2011, 20:23

I don't but I have still have the old ones - will take a picture later...
