Biggazvr6 0 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Ordered some genuine bbs caps for my freshly refurbed standard alloys. I went to stealers as I wanted the real deal so to speak. Went in today and was presented with 4 caps the size of dinner plates. Now, bearing in mind, I went in, gave them my reg no. Looked at the pic with the bloke to double check, they ordered them n I paid up. 60 pound almost if I may say! How can they possibly get it wrong. I told him they definatley will not fit, he was adamant they would. So I took him outside so he could show me how they would 'definatley' fit. He soon could see that they wouldn't fit. What's more, they had vw stickers in the middle instead of bbs, what use are they. He then said he didn't think that they were even bbs wheels....... Guess everybody who has the standard bbs wheels on thier vr has the wrong wheels on according to that pillok at parts! Above the parts desk it says on a banner, why trust anyone, no one knows your vw like we do............ Oh the irony just humours me. So unhelpful. Then tried to sting me for a restocking charge.....dont think so matey boy!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Biggazvr6 0 Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Gave me full money back. Tossers. Ended up ordering eBay specials. Guy says they are mint and he seems to have sold enough if them. Worth a punt at 17 quid. Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 To be fair IF you asked for centre caps for BBS wheels then I can understand the mistake as, over the years VW have put BBS on a lot of cars.I would of gone the ebay/other suppliers over VW/TPS any day on the badges Link to post Share on other sites

The point I'm making is i ordered the correct caps with the bloke, then the wrong ones turn up, and apparently the cap has been replaced with this cap, which had vw badges abd clearly doesn't fit so as far as he was concerned that was that.....
