Alloy Centre Caps

Post by Guernsey70 » Wed Aug 01, 2018 9:45 pm

I’m after some new centre caps and wondered if I should go eBay copies or originals?

Thanks

You can’t argue with the price on eBay! I on;y paid about £6 for some but they lasted less than a year, so I decided this time to go genuine from Cotswold BMW - there’s a discount for forum members, it’ll be interesting to see if they last a bit longer

Thanks.  Just bought some black kidney grilles from them and wondered why I got a discount.

Will check them out for centre caps too.

The discount was supposed to be handed over to the mods on the site  :))

OEM only for me as well, the last still looked like new after 6 years.
