'07 Centre Wheel Caps
 

I'm looking for a bit of guidance on where you guys and gals purchase new wheel centre caps for the OEM '07 alloys...

Having a peek around, I can't seem to find a definitive answer.

Ebay seems to price a single centre cap @ £8, all the way up to £36. I'm a tad unsure why there is such a difference in price?

I wouldn't mind doing a mini-project to refurbish them if it's not too difficult?

Any additional information on that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Refurb is easy, do a search. Aluminium tape, logos off eBay (I used sticker dude)and some lacquer. they will end up better than original.

I saw a thread about this not so long ago, I think it got bumped back up into the uk section from a few years back, have a scroll through a few recent pages...

The centre caps on mine were in a right state (2008).
Took them out, removed the metallic layer, cleaned up the plastic cap that remained, ordered stickers from StickerDude, carefully stuck them on, hey presto, just like new :drool:

That seems to be the way forward, I'll give mine a go.

Do you mind sharing the steps you went through please? :)

Thanks in advance.

The thread that has been bumped recently is the way to go! I bought vinyl stickers from the e of the bay. Make sure you get the right size logo as there are a lot of smaller ones out there which would probably look a bit odd.

Do you have a link by chance? I could do with some new badges. Thanks

Do a search, "center caps" & eBay search "sticker dude" or Honda logo. Give it a try it's quite easy. :rolleyes:

OK if your fingers are too tired -

Took me all of 30 seconds, I'm back off to bed for a rest now!

Is there a link to 'blank' centre caps that we can use as blank canvases?

currently have pre-facelift caps on my MY05 which I'm perfectly happy with - but I think I might enjoy fashioning some (pretend) facelifts.

Anyone done that?

Rather than buying a new blank centre cap, you can peel off the aluminium face on your current one (if it's stock) and then either use speed tape to produce a new aluminium finish or paint if other.

I've done this, used a rattle can to create a black cap, then applied a couple layers of lacquer before sticking a vinyl logo on purchased from eBay. Then finished with a few more layers of lacquer. Very happy with the finish. The only issue I can see is because I've peeled off the aluminium face, the cap isn't as big as it used to be so removing with a screwdriver without taking the wheel off is slightly more tricky(there is no longer a lip between the cap and the wheel)
