Default Centre Caps

Hello all.

Got the feeling this problem may have been covered before. But thought i'd ask advice.
Regarding the stickers/Chrysler badge at the centre cap of the crossfire alloys.. Anyone know of an affordable fix on the problem of brake dust/dirt/water getting in under the centre cap badge?
Quoted £85 per centre cap from Chrysler dealership..
Been looking on e bay. i can find adhesive stickers to put on centre caps for every make bar Chrysler it seems? No sure on the quality either?
Got all four alloys looking scuff free and good. but unfortunately being let down by the centre caps a little.
N/S Front cap really bad. And lets face it. another two years they all gonna be looking a little worse for wear.
Any advice or links to sales to a fix for this be appreciated ?


Baz

Hi Chris.
Thanks for that.
Had car in for its service/Mot/Coolant change etc. and also had a n/s front alloy re-furb done. Then thought..Servicing up to date... Wheels look great.. Car looking good.. Centre caps though... Hmm?
Supplied emblem pictures look really good. Need something. My centre caps going downhill fast.. Does andrew have an online shop? I e-mailed via your link..

Andrews centercap badges are GOOD and Cheap. Make sure you use a hairdryer or similar, when applying. Look GREAT, AND cheap enough to change when your fancy take you.

Well. After a few calls and e-mails around. Got it serviced at Kings Chrysler/Jeep/Mercedes Swindon. Was heading west to visit family. So stopped on route to get it sorted.
They did have some servicing offers on the aftersales section on their web page.and MOT's are £35.
Good dealer experience.. Shame about the cost of the centre caps though eh? I'd recommend them.. Very helpful.
Regarding London Motor museum trip unfortunately i'm working. Get two full weekends off in seven..This not being one of them Near one for me that was too...

Re>>>>>. your service Chris. You due a two spanner or one? For just a two Spanner service with Mobil 1 was £261+vat at Kings Swindon if that's any help?

My car needed a two spanner.i decided to pay a bit more as i felt best get coolant change done at same time as its an 06 plate...plus had MOT..

its on 32k.I'll probably do 12.000 miles in it this year.. 24k miles when i bought it last feb.

Servicing can be more of a headache for those doing little mileage.Who just want a minor service with Mobil1 for a competitive price. Based on the two spanner cost though i'd imagine you could do lot worse than kings..Depends what Knowl hill garage can come up with for you i guess?Or you going to try an indie?

I was going west anyway.. So was Kings for me.

Thanks for the post re- Centre caps.. I've had reply back from andrew already..i'll e-mail back and get these wheels sorted.. They letting the side down
