Need help with making my wheel centre caps from metal instead of plastic.

Featured Replies

your wheels are aluminium, so i would stick the with same material. stainless will polish, but it does have a different shade to it compared with aluminium. it has a deeper shine imo

Yer, that's what I thought too and tbh I'm gonna stick will aluminium.

They won't be able to do it domed in the middle though, but I think straight one would be fine too. Will be a bit tricky to replace the plastic, am thinking to cut the plastic out, and then just tiger seal the aluminium on.

cant find no pics of my old pepper pots.. anyways take the badge out an the outer ring an what your left with is just the cap.. cover it with wilcos finest chrome film (fablon) with a sharp blade cut around the audi bit etc etc then put badge an outer ring back on..

just an idea for you??
