 Hey Guys,

 I'm desperately looking for some centercaps for my early (fat lip) riviera wheels.
 Does any of you have any leads on a set of 4 of these centercaps? (or maybe just one so I can make repro's)
 I already have the wheels on my car but it looks a bit poor without those centercaps... Sad

 Thank you very much!!!

 This is what the centercap should look like (at least I assume it's an original one):
 

 Again.. in the original VW advertising...
 

 and this is what I need em for...

 I think I'm going to try to fit these. It won't be original, but I think it's good alternative until I've found the real ones...

 Yes indeed... it looks very much like the one in the upper picture... I now doubt whether those are the originals or not...
