Someone stole my MINI logo!

Take a look for yourself..



Does anyone know where I could pick up one of these caps?? I was thinking of going to the dealer but I had a horrible experience there last time that I'd rather just buy one off somebody that replaced their wheels? Maybe? Can anyone help?

I'd appreciate it,

Larry

You don't need the whole center cap, just the self-adhesive center logo. They're really cheap. I have a bunch of them I bought from the dealer for a project but then never used. Send me a pm with an address and I'll send you a couple.

I would not do that....after spending several hundred dollars at Morristown we found out their C.S. is less than favorable. For something like that....just go to your local dealer....or buy a used set.

Sorry Compensating....just not a Morristown Mini fan anymore.

Could very well have been the glue wearing out enough hot and cold cycles (seasons changes) with some rain and highway driving mixed in there a little air buble slowly grows underneath til it falls off.

Or someone lost one off of thiers and deed a replacement

My son had one stolen from his VW Jetta's right rear wheel. I started looking around town at VWs and found two more with the exact same wheel missing it's emblem. I guess it's initiation into some type of juvenile club .

Right, that's called the idiots club.

Ditto!

That's one thing I just can't handle. You don't mess with someone's ride.

They fall off...I've lost 2 off of my winter (stock) rims, and know at least one fell off (rather then being "helped" off!) because I found it in my parking lot at work. Still, the car just isn't complete without it, is it?
