Default Emblems missing from center caps

Seems to be a common problem ... almost every single New Beetle I see with the alloy rims is missing the emblems from the center caps (they look like they were held on with double sided tape from the factory). I'm missing two of them personally.

Is it possible to get just the emblems, or do you have to buy the whole center cap?

There are some running on eBay right now, didn't notice if they were new or used, but abt $25. I think I can find them for you. I just saw them in a saved search this morning. I'm sure just the centers are available if someone has the p/n or you can take on off and get it from the reverse.

Not the ones I saw, but if these are them, a whole set for $29 or Make Offer

Or this one...

Or a pair of new ones, $50

Default Center cap decals

I found 4 brand new Decal Stickers to replace on my Daughter's NB. Funny thing there were only 3 missing. looks like they just get old and fall off. Pressure washer probably? I found them on E-Bay for $3.85 and $2.25 shipping! Look great and easy to install, just make sure you clean off old residue from old stickers with Goo-Gone. Wipe with alcohol base and install new ones, press out any air bubbles.

I saw a shot of one of these type covers, posted by another Orger, with one of the badges missing, and there were slots and the such, where it appeared the badges snapped into place as opposed to adhesive. Maybe there are different types of covers or maybe your peel and sticks were cheap "fixes" someone came up with.

Quite possibly what you found is the perfect solution here, again, Been nice if the OPer had put up a pic of what he/she had.
