    Alloy wheel centre caps

    I recently bought a set of 17" Fox alloys off another MIGWeb user, and I am going to refurbish them myself as they are kerbed etc.

    Thing is, the centre caps are manky. Is there any way I can remove the lacquer/logos etc. and fill over them then spray them, or is there a place on the web where you can buy new centre caps?

    I don't really want 'Fox Racing' centre caps, I'd rather have new ones with the Vauxhall logo on them, or just the existing ones with same colour as the wheels for now.

    The "Fox Racing" bit is most likely a thin bit of alloy, prize it off, rub the caps back and paint them, then get a signwriter to make you some new griffins the right size in the colour you want. Sorted.
