WR1 Owners Club

Hi Guys as it says,

I am looking for a set of the wheel centres, not worried about condition as I only really want the backing plate plastic part, i had my wheels refurbed and told the chaps that i was fitting new wheel centres, didn't explain fully to them, and they re-fitted the old ones, fitted the wheels realised i didn't want them fitted and as they tought i was replacing the wheel centre, not replacing the cover or aluminium part, they drilled through them to save removing the wheels to get them off.

As my wheels are darker i fitted some nice prodrive black centre covers, so i will remove the corroded aluminium ones fitted.

i am sure someone out there has an old set lying around in the garage.

cheers in advance, Kev.

Well if someone has a new set for sale - I'll purchase those and sell you mine if you going to respair them or have i got this wrong~

Wheel centre caps are about £20-£30 from the dealers. Baffles me when you see these centre caps sell on ebay for 20 quid each

Trouble is you can not get the PFF7 caps any more.

If you know of any or where i can get some please PM me.

Ah right, I havent got any new ones for a while. Gave up replacing them when i realised they are plastic and that my "wonder wheels" wash was making them corrode and last not very long at all.

Yeah you got it right, i originally had the Pff7 ones that corroded and looked naff, and as the wheels were a darker black i brought some new centre cap stickers (sort of stickers), levered the original 'P' ones off cleaned up the plastic, and stuck on the new black ones. I want to do this again, but the buggers at the bodyshop drilled holes in the old ones to get them off...

I managed to purchase a new set of centre caps a couple of months ago, One of the parts people at a subaru dealership was very helpful and e-mailed my request to the whole subaru dealership network and luckily I got one reply from a dealer in ayrshire who had a set on the shelf, They only had one more single cap on stock but it wasnt in the right place (lost), So the chances are that no one has these anymore and at £63 inc postage I had a result.

I think Bro is going to auction a set next year so maybe worth holding out for them?
Maybe someone on ebay will sell another set for the starting price of £8million ! greedy Fecks

pm sent cheers all.

p.s. Subaru could not get any new ones either. Maybe they have all gone now!!

Thanks to mossy,

I now have some more centre caps.

I got a new set from a site about 2 months ago. £70 a set delivered. There definitely the original wr1 caps as there about an extra 2mm in diameter

Please let us know what site it was, mine are newish but would like a set in reserve.

Any info on where I can get one cap would be highly appreciated?
