    I have a few of what I believe are factory OEM center caps, but there isn't any sticky tape on them. How are they supposed to be installed? Just squirt some glue on them? It seems like the wrong glue might eat into the emblems, & that wouldn't be good. Anybody have an idea of what these normally sell for?

    They don't come with adhesive backing - you need to glue them with a good adhesive. I think a silicon based one is used on mine.

    AFAIK, the originals are unobtainable. Over time, they tend to crack, fall off or get stolen. I haven't found a good source for replacements.

    There are at least two kinds of originals: some have a narrow band of silver paint around the letters, some have gold.

    I haven't seen good reproductions. Dennis McCann, last I checked, was trying to source some, but was not happy yet with the results.

    You can order some from Ferrari, but they are very different than the originals. They have a metal backing and are much thicker.

    Does anyone know of a source?

    Thanks for that info. The ones I have do have the silver around the letters, so these are likely originals. They all have a possible part # handwritten on the back, looks like 242450.

    Sorry, all of them have already been sold. Hopefully you can find some others out there.

    Does anyone know where I can buy only one Cromodora wheel cap?.
    Not the whole hubcap, but just the yellow centerpiece. Mine seems to have departed on a recent spirited drive.

    Check with Dennis McCann. I bought 2 NOS center emblems from him about a year ago. I don't think he any more right now, but he may have a few with slight paint 'lifting' where the adhesive stuck to a couple of spots of yellow background paint. The yellow can easily be touched up - I've done it and it looks essentially as new. It may be worth a try.
