MISING HUB CAP

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.

I bet Seasick Steve nicked it to make a new guitar

no he uses moggy minor trims

Tim thanks
as ever a font of knowledge. Paul at Downunder is sorting one out for me.

Thanks Tim

Cool

WE have 100's if you need one.....

how much are they please with pp for two? or as a bit of pr... and you have 100s... can i have them for free please if i pay the postage :-)
just think of the storage you will save for more expensive items like erm steering wheels so in essense i will be doing you a favour!! lol

Ill do you 50% discount at £11 each plus vat so £26.40 for two inc vat collected or £7 + vat for postage. Let me know. Hope that helps. Thanks

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.

Yeh chrome ones are much shinier!

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 if you buy the expensive ones, they get nicked ......

Maybe but: They wont rust and how do the thieves know they are the expensive ones?

Because they don't have any rust on them!

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

I'd certainly hope a good proportion of folks on here know how to take off a hub cap!

i bought a puller for £2 last weekend...woohoo

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..."

Most thiefs want to nick something they can sell easily down the pub I expect....Normal boring car bits ........ Ford, Renault, BMW etc.....
