Default PFF7 - Alternate Centre Caps

Based on the rarity/cost of PFF7 centre caps, can anybody recommend some subtle alternatives which match the wheels and look OEM?

How somebody hasn't knocked out a load of replicas yet I'm not sure, these could make good business I'd have thought...

Last set I saw go on eBay was £135, brand new - so they do exist, but that's more than I want to pay for something which sells for less than £50 with any logo other than "P - Prodrive" on it!

Hmmm good spot. I guess for a tenner they're worth a look, cheers for that.

No probs, better than spending your life savings on 4 bits of plastic and plus if you did pay all that money and someone nicked them you'd be a rather non plussed!

I wouldn't dream of it! I'm still seething from the theft of a wing mirror on my vauxhall corsa nearly 10 years ago.

Give these guys a ring, I think they sell the genuine caps for about £40 a set.

No they don't. I've contacted them and they have none left. But they are considering getting new ones produced. From my email contact with them:

We have 2 or 3 customers who want these caps / badges so we are looking into the production. But the producer of the Badges requests 1000pcs to produce this badge !!! we will see if we receive anymore requests and then we make a decision. At the moment we will not produce them as 1000pcs is too many when we consider the price for only the sale of 3 sets ( 12pcs ).
So all who need new ones: mail Speedline with your request!

Just to revive this, I've made no progress with speedline and still I'm capless

I got the stickers but then saw some genuine caps on another car and suddenly mine look crap in comparison.

Its about time somebody knocked out some good fakes....

I just put the stickers over the original caps looks good enough to me
