Very bummed to discover this...

Any idea how to replace?

 

I'm pretty sure you can buy a new logo from the dealer... at the very least, you'll be able to buy an entire new center-cap (i.e. the whole piece that covers the lug-nuts). I'll try to dig up a part number for you.

EDIT: OK, part numbers located!

Entire hubcap (in silver), including logo: 36131512572
Logo sticker by itself: 36136758687

Now a quick call to one (or more) parts departments to find out pricing is all you need to do.

If you call one of the DC-area dealers, be sure to mention you're a DCMM member and ask for the discount. Not sure if all 3 still do it, but I know MoS does, at least.

 

i'd be surprised if the center cap is more than 10 bucks - that's two Fivebucks runs for you! ;-)

 

Cool! With my luck I figured it would be around $250!!!

 

250 will get you a new wheel

P/N for the whole center cap - 36131512572
P/N for just the decal - 36136758687

Just ask your dealer to try to get you the decal, and if they can't ask for a center cap. Give them the P/Ns, it will be easier for them

 

GRRR!!!!! You beat me!

 

Mine started de-laminating on my '03 Cooper and were replaced in a snap at the dealership. I would suggest optimism!!!

 

Good time to just go ahead and get four custom center caps.

You could go for a new set here for $30.

At least I think this would be an option for you!

 

LOL and now I beat you even more - post 2!

 

One of mine was stolen off my car. The next time I was in for service, I forgot even to mention it to Towson, but when I left they had replaced it. No charge.

 

I might try that... Maybe I will bake the boys at MOS some chocolate chip cookies!

I really dig the Union Jack with the MINI wings...

Have wanted to add some Brit Bling since 2005 (see attached)

Mmmm. Tough decision to make!

Thanks for the info!

Laura

 

Oh BEHAVE !!

Yeah, Baby !!

 

Thats just cheating, but you can see the time you edited the post, making it look like I had it 1st

 

Except that you didn't, because my 2nd post was still posted before yours.

Laura - I love the photo of the Austin Powers MINI!

 

I'd be surprised if it was stolen. They seem to just fall off.

 

Hi I am a newbie. Does anybody know how to remove the center cap? Is some special tool needed? Thanks.

 

In the tool kit in the car, there should be a little Jhook shaped piece of wire that goes in one of the perimeter holes to pull the cap off.

 

I will check with that. same case with others, i have lost the center decal. Thanks again, from Hong Kong.

 

A few weeks back Tate apparently had the wheels "removed" from one of their MCSC's, it was sitting on the rotors when I saw it

 

Karma.
