Howdy yall,
This is my first post on here, just picked up a blue 2000 k11 1.0l celebration (whatever that is) and this seems to be the place to be. I used to spend a lot of time on vwvortex/fortitude/etc's The Car Lounge but I havent had a car in a little while. I'm an American living on the Orkney mainland off the north coast of Scotland, beautiful place.
Anyway, I picked up this rusty little guy dirt cheap, likely an island car all its life, so you can imagine all the problems that it has. one of them is that it only has 3 crappy plastic hubcaps. ordinarily this wouldnt be of any issue to me, i was planning on doing a bootleg refinishing job on the rusty steelies, until i came across this image
I think the micra belongs to someone on here, but these retro hubcaps offer some cool possibilities. they seem to be a bit hard to come by, here are a couple of the only other shots I could find on the internet.
anybody else rocking these? also Im curious what size wheel they fit on, looks like the 13 inch.
cheers!
