Title: Irmscher centre caps
Post by: MikeDundee on 21 April 2020, 07:07:52

So my centre caps are a bit of a mess, and you cannot get the same ones, with the I logo in the middle, I bought the last one available on e-bay. Irmscer have the centre caps but have irmscher on them rather than the i, but wait for it, they want £30 for them and then £15 postage. So I started to remove the shiny coating off one of the existing caps and have given them a fine sand (with the wifes, 240/240 nail file), and they have actually come up Ok giving a brushed steel look. Realised I have a dremel in the shed somewhere, dig that out today and finish the caps off.

Yep I bought the centre caps for mine direct from Irmscher, crazy price but i've never seen a full set on ebay and they are a different size to the standrad Vauxhall ones.

Nice one, looks great.  :y

I have the later ones which say 'Irmscher' on them on mine, buying direct from Irmscher was my only option as I couldn't get a set of four of your style anywhere.... only the odd one appeared from time to time on eBay.  :'(

I think a blind man would be glad to see it ;)

I think they look pretty bloody good.  Although I am half blind ;D
