Need 4 emblems for the centre caps of my BRM style wheels [going on the '56 cabriolet]. They are 44mm dia., and ideally need to be VW logo.
Any ideas?

Steve, Wollies have sold all their stock.....some bloke from from the Gold Coast cleaned them out, I believe.😂
I have the caps - just need the emblems [thin discs].👍

One way is to print the emblems you want on photographic quality paper, place on the caps and apply 2-pack resin over them; the 'craft' people do this all the time to make trays etc. and, when done properly, the results are v. professional. Enquire at yr. local craft shop.HappyDaze wrote:I have the caps - just need the emblems [thin discs].👍

You can get them easy enough on Ebay but 45mm is a bit of a dicky size,
the same size as what I needed for my center caps.
I've got a brand new set here I bought that are 40mm which is just a touch too small.
I ended up getting some 55mm ones like these:

They are aluminium without the clear resin face and trimmed the outer black ring off which brings them down to 45mm.
Been on for about a year now and holding up well.

Wow, that was quick! Thanks Joel.
They look even better than I was hoping for......I'll grab a set.

I do the same thing as Joel.
They come with a sticky back - I just peel off the existing sticker if there is one (in my case, 'Performance'), peel the backing paper off the VW sticker, and stick it on.

I been looking for 45mm ROH center cap decals for 2 years! I know where they are some but would require a ex worker stealing them from her father who worked at the factory that manufactured those badges.
I think I'll give up now lol
