Not such a good deal then.

S800, I've only got a Holden - and it has a full set of badges already. I was thinking of all of the poor R8 owners here, with pictures of chickens on their wheels. wink

Anyone know if you can buy blank centre caps ideally in black? And if so, what size dia. would one need to go for?
Some mug picked one of my caps out... For no reason, no emblem and only one...

If it was a front one, it probably came out when the wheel heated up under braking.

Measure one of the ones you have left, then get some blanks from ebay.

if you are thinking of changing the center caps and dont want to shell out stupid money on genuine ones (which I didnt) just pry off the vaux badge from the cap (comes off reasonably easy) and order some badges specially made to what you want. I cant remember the site I used, I'll try and find the receipt, but I changed every badge on the car for around £40, that's including key fobs and all. they have been on the car 18 months and still look like new so cant fault the quality.
