Foogles Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) 52mm is plenty big enough then, the dragon should look great Yes the wheel is small, it's 30cm/12 inches in diameter. The standard wheel is 14 inches I think so it's quite a difference. I'm very much used to it now and wouldn't go back. It's very weird driving the family Rav4 now, it feels like a boat Edited May 18, 2015 by Foogles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Cat Lady Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Update: Re-emailed Darren and he replied, yes he is very busy but probably in demand for good workmanship, or maybe he's out there with his surf-board - which is what i'd be doing this time of year in Cornwall Darren of 'Vinyl Locking' has produced and dispatched my centre caps, and they arrived in this mornings post, and i'm really pleased with them Just need to work out the best way to stick them on the plastic caps - so the edges won't lift when i wash the car, all good suggestions welcome!

Debs You should be able to prize off the middle of your current centre caps and leave a void to put them in - clean that with tar and glue/degreaser and give it a light sand and they should hold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new ones are sticky backed but i would think they could do with a additional outer-ring of resin or strong waterproof glue around the edge to seal them on proper. I have a little tube of Unibond Extreme Power Glue - "a tough bond that resists shocks, impact, water, extreme temperature conditions ( -50c to 120c )" It says it's suitable for plastics ( except PE, PP, PTFE ) ...so i'm not sure now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toiletduck Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 I wouldn't personally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Cat Lady Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) I wouldn't personally! Yeah, Unibond Extreme is a bit dubious so i'll not bother with that one. My caps have a outer recess that needs something in to hold the outer edge of the new sticker, and stop water and muck getting in. i could try using copydex, which would be harmless to the plastic caps and stickers but dunno how it would cope with longevity. Edit : yes you're right, i've just stuck them strait on [without any glue] and they look fine. Edited June 10, 2015 by Crazy Cat Lady Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
