daytona Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Slightly domed decal under clear plastic. Don't know how to describe it better, but simple stick on jobbie, no lacquer required 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daytona Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) So are they just like the plastic caps I have after removing the ali disc. Yes except completely different They are like the flat ali disc, except plastic and not flat If these give up the ghost ill have to look at some of his. Sorry old bean but I believe his machine broke. Subsequently he found new work and doesn't do them any more.

Akuma77 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 well you think how long the ones have been on our wheels since manufacture im sure so if these last another 5 years it will be a bonus and they transform the look even with the standard alloys .. ive spoke to mook about mine and ive already sorted a colour scheme for mine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cipprio Posted February 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) This might help. This is what I used to stick the caps back on to the plastic cap..applied a nice blob in the centre and round the edge. It fills the gap around the ali cap so hopefully no wet etc can get behind to corrode it again.

Akuma77 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 so it is best to remove the aly cover first in your opinion , im not planning to do this atm as im waiting or some other stuff but it will all be done or japfest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I had a lot of dirt and corrosion behind the cap.Got lots to do before japfest, front splitter and skirts to be fitted .

Here's the finished product, really pleased with the result and mooks graphics are spot on. Looking good It's amazing what a nice looking centre cap does for the wheels. I was looking at an old picture of my wheels yesterday and they really did look dreadful with the scratched up caps and kerbed alloys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
