center wheel badge is just the center with the horse...it has an adhesive backing and you must pop out your current center...I bought these from superperformance...they are ok..chubby horse..wrong color..but they are ok for"street" use.

Verell:

Do you know what the difference is between their
Centre wheel badge (Each) 3906F �4.50
and their
Centre complete with wheel badge 3906FR �9.50

I'm not sure what to get. I've never taken the caps (or wheel centers, aren't they the same thing?) off myself, but I've seen them popped out during tire changes.

Thanks for the tip on Evans. Nice guys - sent me a set in two days. 100 bucks for four - they're the "fakes" but they work just fine.

Ric, interesting post on the different wheel caps. I just bought a 328 and noticed the caps were pale yellow, and assumed I needed to replace them, as the ones on my previous 78 308 had a slightly deeper shade...

Would be great if you guys could post the prices from the various sources....

Thanks all. I think mine are the cheaper ones, as the color doesn't really match the other emblems very well.

Just surfing and found another good source for F parts;

also, beware...there are some real cheap knock-offs out there....the give away is the color and the horse is kinda chubby with pretty bad detail...

You can buy them on Ebay or from a dealer. Beware, however, there are three different colors.

Stu, Rather than a dealer, Someone on the F.C. said that they were sold from time to time on Ebay.

Went out for a spin this evening and when I got home I noticed I lost a center cap. Anybody know where I can pick up just one?
