Based on info from this forum, I've just bought some caddy centre trims (part number 2KO 601149C) to cover the wheel nuts and to finish the look off of the 16" steelies that I've just fitted some winter wheels onto. I've had a look through the old threads that mention these trims (from which I've pilfered the attached picture) and some mention poor quality ebay purchases that haven't impressed the buyers, but can't see any recommendation.

 

Has anyone out there found a half decent badge the shape of which suits being glued onto the centre trim. I think the shape is important since the centre of the caddy trims are curved so getting a badge to sit well for glueing will be down to the shape of the badge and some fettling.

 

This is the first time I've posted an attachment so it won't be a massive surprise there is nothing attached. Also I wasn't sure if such trivia warranted its own thread, but I thought best not to resurrect or divert one on the winter wheel threads, and I guess it is easier to search for in the future (assuming anybody responses).

 

Oh, and I'm after the "old skool" badge with the green to match the rest of the badges. I would have been tempted to change to the new badge style but then that wouldn't match the steering wheel which I assume can't easily be change, and that just wouldn't do  .

 

 

 

 

Looking at your picture,  a suggestion comes to mind.  Does that "Volkwagen" centre disc push out and leave a hole the right size?  If not,  could you cut a correctly sized hole in the middle,  then use your existing wheel centre pushed into it?  You can buy an adjustable tank cutter for very few pennies,  and it might enable you to do "a properjob".  The most difficult bit would be finding the exact centre for your pilot hole.

especially post 13, though images seem to be missing.

Apologies, not sure how I missed that post. Looks like that ebay sale has ended a while back, but I guess I could see if the seller has any more, if nobody else has any links.

 

Thanks

Those look like they are for a T5. They don't stay on for long. I lost quite a few. You need the Caddy ones which look completely different.

 

Look on the 2nd page in this thread

Thanks Rockhopper. I suspect I've misled you by being lazy and putting a picture on posted by someone else thinking they were the same thing. Having read as many of the related posts that I can find, I'm pretty sure I have the dome shaped caddy trims rather than the T5 trims. They do have the 5x112 bolt pattern of the caddys rather then the 5x120 of the T5. Anyway, thanks for the response. I'll follow the thread that Merlin's Friend point me towards regarding fixing the badge on, that is if I can get over the hurdle of attaching the trims to the car (I've just revived an old thread on that subject which you may be able to help with).
