Center cap choice

[ScottD3]

Why don't go back to the person who painted your wheels and get him to colour code your centre caps to the wheels?

Get him to colour code them but leave off the clear coat.
Go see a airbrusher or a pin stripest (that a word?) and get them to put on a chrome/silver audi logo and then clear coat it. Done.

Scott's idea sounds pretty good, get them painted to match then you could put something like the following on

This would be a reasonable thing to do, but I don't want to see them ever again after f***ing up this job so badly, colour wise, not quality.
Plus there is more to that story from the other thread where I expressed my dissatisfaction, I wasn't angry just about that, it was a whole package.
Final price was 70quid more than what we agreed to, if you shake hand with me, no matter what or which side is making the deal, thats it, deal is done.
And another thing I hate the most, they were jumping into the car with no care at all in, I'm not joking, very very dirty and greasy trousers and tshirts.
Disgusting and very disrespectful.
It is a leather, which I cleaned but only some of it, stitching is still a bit dirty, plus there where the little wear is, tiny cracks, grease got into it so well that non of the two leather cleaners were able to clean that.

I'm not trying to look after the car as much as I can so one moron can mess it up in few seconds.
Thats why I was fuming yesterday, because of all this things, not just one.

Take them somewhere else and do the same thing?

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

[ScottD3]

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
