So....
I found the right size stickers that are convex enough for my Rondell center caps on my wheels. The Rondell caps were ok, but I wanted to see how it would look if I changed them to "BMW" caps.
The process was easy. At first I popped the "r" out of the center caps, then wiped the cap with acetone and put the sticker on... Voil?!
Oh, I changed the "time attack" stripe from silver to red yesterday. I didn't like the grayish one at all.
Rondell wheel cap:
The front wheel afters:
The rears:
Concavity, anyone
?
Merry Xmas and s*it! Yo!

Very nice Antti, I like the BMW being in the center cap - kind of makes the wheels look more "normal"

Where'd you get those stickers? You should get some black and red ones. They will match your wheels better.
