| Got back from a week's camping at the Eisteddfod only to find I'm one hub cap short.
Been round the usual suppliers the only joy was VW heritage but the picture of the cap doesn't look right.
2005 model.... dunno if all Brazi caps are the same !!??
Anybody know of a spare one ? VWH wanted £23 so will pay up to that.

| Looks right to me if you've got the original Kombi silver ones.
Why don't you try Danbury, they must have hundreds because of the amount of people who upgrade to alloys? Also try Ian at VW Kampers, and Paul at VW Downunder - they'll have swapped original hubs for alloys for customers of theirs too. ________________________________________________________________________________ Max SportsKombi - The Bay Racer

| Thanks Jason.
I think i might shop around and get some chrome ones for around £50 in total at an event but your quote is helpful for others to consider as an option. | |

| No probs. Chrome does look lovely. My advise is to get really good quality English triple plate chrome hub caps so they last and not cheap ones... | |

| But would our regular customers know how to get a hub cap off. They probably have never seen them before......

Ah, sorry, I nearly broke my cover for my day job. I should have said, "But would the usual thief (aged between 14 and 25, with poor education, and learning dificulties) know how to get a hub cap off. They probably have never seen them before..." | |
