First order for OEM Colour Crested Caps

997 Turbo TT - First order for OEM Colour Crested Wheel Caps.

it is lucky or what. i believe i have ordered the very first set for the OEM 997 Turbo. We ordered the moment they said it would be biginning to be made available.

First set is coming to Australia !!.

They call it the lucky country. maybe so, but for P cars, it certainly is'nt - For the money, Each and every Ossie P owner can own 3 (THREE ! ) Porsches of the same variant in the USA.



anyway, good news to all who were like me, hanging out for it to be available.

The crests arrived at the dealership

The wheel cap crests arrived at the dealership. they then phone me to apologise that it did not have the mirror finish. i will just install the normal ones, as i dont think it makes very much of a difference.
so apologies to everyone. i am sorry to have believed spare parts at my dealership.

in pics below, you will notice stickered wheel crests.


BTW, this below is our new TT. it needs a wash, but i wanted to rush a post to atomica tonight.



can anyone spot something different ?

Charles, could you please take a picture up close to the center of the wheel showing the differences between the turbo wheels with the painted center caps.

2 pics here

1st one is oem with my sticker over it. 2nd one is colour crested and with alloy finish as a background.
all the confusion was about thinking they had a crested version with the polished finish of TT oem's.

the alloy background does not detract at all.
gooday all.

thanks for posting it...

but i think the original one matches the color of those wheels better, especially for my black one.

great, so i don't have to order it.
