Now that is an idea ... I wonder what the costs / unit price is for a production run is.

I recon a run of 100 (25 sets) would be a great start

It may become expensive with any chroming as I have used charmers and on a good day the 350i wheel centre caps are £25ea to re-chrome....If that cost could be bettered than sounds like a plan....Isn't plastic fantastic...

Apparently, if you can borrow a 3D printer, it can print off a 3D printer for you....

Maybe Fern would be interested in producing a batch of 200? That's 50 cars worth of centers.

Is it still possible to buy the wheel centre badges off the flea? I just had a look and couldn't find any.

I use "stickers international" , you can custom design anything you like.
Last set I had made up , domed resin for orange wheels

That looks promising - where do I get the logo from though.... oh, wait a sec... ;^)

Have been searching for a previous thread where someone had shown some cast resin ones that they had made but can not find it , just found a picture of them that I saved away.
Might jog someone's memory as to who it was ?

Cheers but the top one got knobbled by the thumbsnap logo ;^(

Perhaps post it with a white border at the bottom?

Anyhow I think I might photo the original off the old caps I have on - or use the scanner - that will be totally authentic. I can edit it to make the background proper white easy enough (which is what the label printers want).

Adam, click on the image, it then opens up in another window, then save it. Won't have the thumb snap thing then
