They came off my 2000 996 C2 - never used as we had the coloured ones fitted prior to delivery.

they appear to be about £15 for a set on ebay, so might go down that route for now, then at least I have some spare for future.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

14 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I returned to my car today to find that some **** had stolen one of my centre caps and tried to remove the other one and done some minor damage to the alloy. I had no idea these things were of value to people. After my initial rage, I am trying to find out if it is worth getting another set from my local PC or off ebay, although I guess most of these are stolen anyway. They seem to vary in price from about a tenner to £50 for one, I am very confused. I will probably stick with the plain ones and not the coloured ones, so they don't stand out too much.

POST 2Original post

This sort of thing infuriates me, and I think the scum that do this should be treated as they do in the arabian countries if they are ever caught. These mindless thieve have a level of callousness that exceeds even lucifer himself. I had a 50 minute wait for a train the other day, due to the theft of signal wire from the railway. Signal wire for christ sake!

POST 3Original post

sorry to hear this, I bought a set from eBay, not original but I can't tell the difference. they were about £12 or so and of extremely good quality, cheers steve WS

POST 4Original post

The Porsche ones will last longer (if no to$$er nicks them) as the ebay versions look great to start with but then fade quite quickly in the sun. At £12 a set mind, you can replace them every 6 months and still be quids in!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys for the sympathy, I could actually feel my blood boil when I found it and if I would have caught the little person, I dont know what I would have done. so mad!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway, they are £31 each from my PC, just going to check ebay and compare now. Thanks all...

POST 6Original post

regarding fading, I've had mine since May, and they look as good as new , no fading or cracking whatsoever . cheers sws

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

they appear to be about £15 for a set on ebay, so might go down that route for now, then at least I have some spare for future. Did you use an approved supplier off ebay or just anyone on there? thanks

POST 8Original post

Chris from Exel normally does a great deal on centre caps. I need a set soon ( some scumbag nicked them ) so will give Chris a bell.

POST 9Original post

I blame the Beastie Boys for the allegedly moronic idea of wearing the big VW from a camper van on a chain. News flash spate of car badge nicking, stealing the porsche centre caps is just a progression. Get some Skoda ones turned dwon to fit or what ever, and tell everyone you are being ironic.

POST 10Original post

As I said, the ebay ones are good value but will not last as long as the Porsche ones but at 1/10th of the price just change them every year!

POST 11Original post

I got them from a shop on eBay called "portiascarparts", but I don't know if they still have them. Highly recommended. cheers steve ws

POST 12Original post

I have a set of genuine original and unused centre caps as per the image attached. They came off my 2000 996 C2 - never used as we had the coloured ones fitted prior to delivery. Let me know on here if you are interested and I will email you back (as Admin I have access to your email address)

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Peter. Thanks for your message, I would most certainly be interested. Please email me when you have time with details. many thanks
