Bargain of the year

Post by Gazc » Sat May 06, 2017 3:56 pm

Just picked up and dropped off to be refurbished a set of 224's for £180. The refurb is costing £260 for remove and dispose of old tyres, strip, power coat in original silver and fit new tyres ( which I am supplying). So a good as new set for £440. Could anyone recommend where to get centre caps and ///M badges.

That's a great price :thumbsup: I don't think you'd find many people willing to let them go so cheaply 8)

I got my badges (copies) and caps (genuine) through eBay. It was a while ago but I think I got them from a couple of sellers in Japan. No issues with either and I'd happily do the same again.

Fwiw, the savings weren't huge on the centre caps so if you're in a rush you might be as well to see what the dealers want for them. I seem to remember the M logos costing very little but took a bit longer to arrive.

I don't think he knew what he had he was going to put them on a Renault van. But the back ones stuck out too much. :rofl:

I just ordered 4 Genuine centre caps from bmminiparts.

Part no was 36 13 6783536

They were £4ish each on their website, but delivery was quite expensive. So I got them via their eBay shop instead as they were £5 each and free delivery.

Cheapest I could find for 4 genuine elsewhere was about £38. So thought £20 was a good deal.

The eBay item no is 282441574572, however I have just checked and they're now showing as £20 EACH! When I ordered there were only 6 in stock, of which I had 4. So maybe when they run outta stock they whack the price up.

Keep an eye on the eBay item they may well go back down to a fiver.
