I love the HRE Cup edition, looks like that car can lay some power down.

Nice looking combo dyc1077.

For all with blakc wheels, here is a quick and easy center cap fix, which I did on my car. Those silver center caps look out of place on black wheels!!


Take the center caps off, and lightly sand them with 600 grit sand paper (see pic with 2 caps, top one is sanded, so dont expect to see too much difference. Be careful dont touch the crest, the chrome is easy to scratch).


Carefully mask the P crest with flexible tape (so you can bend it around the curves, cut corners carefully with a blade).


Buy can of matte finish black paint and matte varnish.

Spray the caps from all angles from a distance of at least 30-40 centimeters and allow to dry for a couple of hours.


Then spray the varnish, or else it is likely that the matte color will scratch off. If you have patience, wait 2 more hours (or in KSA more like half hour!) and spray another coat.
IMPORTANT. WHEN REMOVING THE TAPE, COULD BE USEFUL TO CUT AROUND THE CREST RIGHT AT THE EDGE WITH A BLADE, ITS EASY TO LIFT THE PAINT IF NOT PROPERLY DRIED.
Done. Install and drive off...



Good luck. Its an easy project that the most time is spent on masking the crest, and it should not involve more than half hour work.

Lets not forget my contribution to the thread for the OP. Car may not be silver, but wheels are a matte grey color which I thought was spectacular. My previous ride...
