I know what you saying, but even if they are salvageable I just don't have time for driving around and asking people to respray not the greatest quality caps.

I would rather get new ones, but that is more difficult than I thought originally.

Now looking at the RS ones again, they do draw the eye a bit plus there is no other red bits or emblems on the car (and not planning to have any for sure)

A little frustrated tbh

Stay away from the RS caps.

Got for subtle.
The chrome with the RS red bits and all is a big no no from me.
Looks like something a 17 year old would bolt on to his 1.6 to make it 'sporty'

Don't advertise the wrong product - people look and imagine some factory worker grovelling on his driveway with some bits he bought off gumtree rather than the fine German engineers and designers in in their bright pristine Ingolstadt factory popping them on with gloved hand. That's how it is in my bigoted world view anyway.

I like that view.

That was my believe since I remember and reason why I removed the S8 badge from my new S8 grill
When I woke up thismorning and looked at them again there was no way I would put them on.
I think it was act of desperation during frustration level being well up.

Great definition by the way Snap
It could be a great bumper sticker which you stick secretly on this sort of cars, how funny would that be?

I've seen a diesel A8 some time ago with tailpipes pointing down and S8 badge at the rear

Or don't you just love the 3 series on 16'' wheels with M3 emblems everywhere...

Was thinking today about getting the start shape caps, I know they are bright grey, but it could work.
The only chrome/silver caps I found on ebay and aliexpress are the rs, s and abt ones

All Star shape caps fit only wheels with 55mm holes not 58mm like in most wheels. I assume as it's a new style of center cap so the hole was reduced in never wheels
