Default what do you think about this?

Hey as you all may know, i recently picked up a set off pff7's a few weeks back and been getting annoyed at the centre caps so decided to have a go at repairing my own but its not possible if you want a good job so have done this with abit of filling and sanding and done this



its only an idea at the moment, so please don't be to mean if you think it looks sh*t :P

and this is my attempt at repairing 1



all i done was heated it up and peeled it from the base and then removed the clear sticker and sand back all the corrosion but it just doesn't look right to me

Can you not just spray silver and get some decals made up to match the prodrive logo?

Could you not just buy some and then 'make' them fit somehow?
Or failing that, just buy some resin dome type ones. Some companies
do custom designs.

I had a set of them made up for me by my local graphics company mine were the same looking rather sh1tty, he made a transfer for it and covered it over with clear laminate i think

What ever he did they looked **** on in all fairness so you should be able to get them made up somewhere fella

No way of getting them to fit right, if the face had been te same size I would have made them fit, will have a 6mm space round the whole disc

Ooo okay , did you have to remove the old sticker from the face or did it go right over?

Was the sticker silver or clear? Sorry for the question maby I'm asking the wrong thing then

Lol no probs bud, im not sure what they did is the 100% truth, my neighbour across the road does alot of graphic work for his local cruise scene so i had a word with him, gave him the caps and they came back prime i can ask if you want what was what with it all when i catch him, ill try getting a pic of them for you as well as i sold the car on now but i know you can definately 100% get them made up how long they will last is anyones guess lol but he done them for nothing so i wern gonna complain he also made a set for my m3 an all what a nice chap he is

Edit:- the m3 ones came as a sticker and had to peel away the old ones off the caps and stick new down, he then added the clear film, so maybe these will be the same
