Hi,
I woke up a month ago to find all 4 centre caps gone from the alloy wheels on my car. The car is a 2001 A4 and the wheels are the original 10 spoke 16" alloys. As well as being quite annoyed i am finding it hard to get some to replace them.
I have contacted a number of breakers but of course they will only sell them with the wheels they are attached to. I have telephoned Audi but they want £70+. I would reluctantly pay this if i knew that they wouldn't get stolen again, especially as they would be shiny new ones!
I have been looking on ebay for a few weeks now but they only sell the ones for the 15" 8 spoke alloy. I have also tried some other places on the internet but no luck so far.
Does anyone have any suggestions, apart from what one broker said to me which was, "if i was you mate then i would go and steal myself some off another car". Of course this is an option but not one that i would take as i know how much upset it causes the owner and of course, it is not morally right and against the law.
Thanks for any help.
