Default Wanted: S8 18 Avus wheel centre cap

Just the one if someone has a spare lying around please. Otherwise it's a set of four ghastly, chrome ringed reproductions or a silly priced one from the dealers. PM me and we can haggle a price.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the gentleman who refitted my wheels after changing the rear pads. I wonder if there was anything else he forgot to secure properly? Hmmmm.

Bill

Edit: pre facelift, sorry

I've learned from experience to always remove all the centre caps (carefully) from any of my cars before letting them anywhere near a garage or tyre place.

Just out of interest, what type, PF or FL, they're very different....
