Wheel centre caps
 
Does anyone know the difference between 8D0 601 165K, which are quite rare and expensive, and 4B0601165A, which look very similar but are common and cheap?

And where can I get 8D0 601 165E (the 18" Avus wheel centre cap)? Just one will do.

Ive just bought a set of 8D0 601 165K which are the correct caps for the 20" final edition wheels according to VAGCat but I'm not that sure of the differences - here are the 2 side by side

The K's seem to be "recessed" grey bits and have no extra line around the centre of the circumference

If youre after a set of K's then PM me as the guy I got mine from has another set

Ha ha, there's nothing wrong with keeping it in the forum :D

I'll quite happily take caps from anyone in any condition

How do you refurbish these?

Dezzy 20th July 2011 02:34 PM

My idea of refurbish and yours might be completely different. I have rubbed one down with wire wool (it takes ages) and was just going to paint it black to suit my referb’d wheels. Although the guy that did the wheels said he could strip them with the same stuff as the wheels and the paint them to suit. But I could only find 3 so didn’t bother, that’s why I just need 1 old smelly one

The_Laird 20th July 2011 03:05 PM

Dezzy - If I get these 4 good ones, I'll send you one of my less good (but still not bad) spares if you want to PM your address

Dezzy 20th July 2011 03:32 PM

you are a gentleman sir, i'll pay postage
