Wout Veteran Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Belgium Vehicle(s): Mercedes 280GE 1979/230G 1980/ C220CDI/A170CDI/ Posts: 145 | Hub caps 460 Some people asked me for the part number of the wheelcaps on my 280 GE. As far as I know there are no such ready to fit wheelcaps for the MB rims on the older models. As I liked the new ones I solved this (minor) problem by taking the original wheelcaps and with a Dremel mototool I removed the inner Mercedes logo. In that way you have a kind of adapter in which the new hubcap will fit perfectly. The new hubcaps are available in blue and in black. Strange enough they have the same part number. wkr Wout (DSCN0204.JPG) (DSCN0206.JPG) (DSCN0208.JPG) (DSCN0209.JPG) (DSCN0212.JPG) (DSCN0190.JPG) Attachments ---------------- DSCN0204.JPG (57KB - 10 downloads) DSCN0206.JPG (40KB - 10 downloads) DSCN0208.JPG (45KB - 13 downloads) DSCN0209.JPG (51KB - 9 downloads) DSCN0212.JPG (60KB - 9 downloads) DSCN0190.JPG (49KB - 9 downloads) | ||

Anybody on here who knows a little bit more about this? Wout, I think you have found the perfect solution for people with the 16" rims | ||
