blue kipper Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 A mate of mine has recently had the centre pieces form the alloys on their 1989 VW Golf Gti nicked. They are small silver discs that fit in the middle of the alloy and basically just make the wheels look nice. They had BBS emblazened on them but DMS have told her that (unsurprisingly) VW don't make them any more. Most of the stuff she's looked at as potential replacements either looks bad or is too expensive for her as she wants to sell the car in the next month. Any suggestions?

Stavros Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 Do it Stavros style: Step one, cut out a suitable piece of cardboard to the right size (always ask for the assitance of an adult before playing with scissors) Step two, get aluminium foil out of kitchen cupboard. (Don't let your mother see what your taking, it's Friday and she's already thinking of the roast on Sunday!) Step three, cover cardboard cut outs with aluminium foil. Step four, get a black marker pen and write "BBS" on each foil covered disc. Step five, take foil discs to car and insert in suitable holes in middle of alloy wheels. Step six, sell car as soon as possible! Serves four. Stav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue kipper Posted July 3, 2004 Author Share Posted July 3, 2004 Right cheers lads for the research on your part, it really wasn't necessary. Yetanothermanxforum, was it £1.80 for one or for a set of 4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
