Hello all,

 

My centre caps are looking a bit tired, are these just a self adhesive badge or do I need the whole centre cap?

 

Thanks

I think it's the whole  push out centre cap.

You've done well if those are the originals, I'm on my third set on my 63 plate car and this white worm effect is such a common problem that even Skoda themselves acknowledge that it's an inherrent problem with them and my first replacement set were done under original new car warranty.  Unfortunately, you will need complete replacement centre caps.  They are stupidly expensive from UK main stealers - over £60 for a set of four.  Cheapest way to buy them is from skoda-parts.com.  When I had my alloys refurbished last summer, I bought a set of centre caps (https://www.skoda-parts.com/spare-part/5e0601151fod-wheel-hub-centre-cap-with-a-skoda-logo-skoda-19744.html), 2 sets of wheel bolts covers and a centre console phone holder and even with the carriage was still more than a fiver less than just the set of centre caps would cost over here.  Excellent service as well, no extra import fees to pay as long as total order value is less than £136 as they already charge VAT, the price you see on the website (in Euros) is the total price you pay.  And with standard delivery I ordered on Thursday afternoon and the parcel made it to my local Fedex depot on the Friday Monday but then sat there until Monday morning when it was delivered.  Still not bad for coming all the way from the Czech Republic.  They have a UK based sales representative if you have any questions:

Excellent! I'll order a set.

 

Thank you very much indeed.

No worries, glad to be of help.

 

The website lets you put in VIN for 1 vehicle free of charge so you can double check the fitment, yours should be the same as mine but stranger things have happened.

 

If you do any home maintenance on your car worth potentially adding anything like filters etc to the order because as long as you keep below the £136 duty free limit and 10kg limit of standard carriage, costs nothing extra other than cost of the bits which is always far cheaper than UK even allowing for current crap exchange rate.  And they list copy and genuine Skoda options for most maintenance parts.

 

Good to know, thanks.

I got some off eBay. Cost about a tenner for all 4, came direct from China even though they had ‘Made in Germany’ moulded into the back of them 😂. Still look fine with no whiteworm 2 years later. Couldn’t be bothered taking the wheels off to remove the old ones so I just drove a wood screw through them with a drill & pulled on the screw with pliers. 

Thanks for the recommendations, I bought these......

Decent quality for the cost.
