Would put some pics up, but photobucket seems to be permanently feked these days. I find Photobucket extremely frustrating to use on a PC - it does not work at all with Edge but does work (albeit slowly) on Chrome (at least on my PC) - I might have to try the iOS version according to what Jason just said.

I find the desktop version really awkward and littered with poorly place ads and pop ups. The app is simple, quick and clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sazzy Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Hi sorry to drag up an old thread, I'm getting my wheels booked in for a refurb and I'm not sure what to do about my centre caps, these are them: Have they faded or is this a colour option?! I don't see any evidence of any red having been there? Could I ask them to paint red on do you think? I know new ones are crazy money. Failing that I know I could go eBay ...

Southy Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 seems ebay have a few wheel caps sets up again, just check the size of your current ones, but I bought something similar two and half years ago and mine are fine, including the dust caps! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4PCs-Alloy-Chrome-Wheel-Center-Caps-Emblem-Logo-for-Porsche-77mm-7L5601149-E-K-/322344733293 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason986S Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I have the same as above. Under £20. Also bought some for the Cayenne refurb a few weeks ago in black. Perfect tight fit. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice how the above doesn't actually show/use the logo in full anywhere. Suggestive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get the cheap ebay ones and replace every few years. @Sazzy get some nail varnish on the old ones to see if you can make them look better. Nothing ventured....

Actually put me off buying some more...I need some nicer dust caps as some oik stole the two from one side of the car! EDIT just realised is so the ad doesnt get pulled by ebay for copyright infringement maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nail varnish might work but Hombrol model paint with clear lacquer over certainly does. Did mine when I first got my car 7 years ago and still looking ok.

Good price though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of people painting them but wasn't sure what with or what colour red ?! Worth a go for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have used "Gloss 10" as I've found a small tin of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bike Loon Posted May 8, 2017 Report Share Posted May 8, 2017 Think mine are genuine Porsche ones and they arent so great these days. Will probably buy an ebay set when I am back from Portimao. Used them on my 986 and they look identical to OEM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
