Thoughts wanted on Borbet A custom Centres
« on: 10 December 2010, 14:30 »
Right, I want some flat centre caps but I would rather make my own than pay borbet £80 for 4 circles of metal with there name on. So I was thinking about what to put on the centres, i thought it would look really cool to have the vw logo we have on out keys cnc milled into the centre, what do you all think? Was also thinking about maybe doing the jagermeister logo or somthing a bit different.

Here are the caps for those of you who dont know




and i assume you all know what the dub badge looks like and the jager logo

P.S Sorry slick

there's quite a risk of them looking a bit tacky bud

Yer I know but I have emailed a company just now to get a quote. Shouldn't be much cos I will do all the cad myself, im thinking at the min just the vw logo without the circle on the outside (just small in the middle, not covering the entire cap lol)

Sounds interesting! Will this work out more or less expensive than paying £80 to Borbet?!
