Jed - Syncro spare wheel covers?

Post by tforturton »

I've been trying to find a spare wheel cover with 'SYNCRO 4WD' on it, in the correct font type that VW use, but there don't seem to be any available. I thought about trying to do it myself, with homemade stencils, but then decided it would be much better done properly. A while ago, I was given a lead to someone with the right stencils, but despite a few PMs, nothing ever came of it.
So here's what I'm thinking - is this something Jed could add to the Campervanculture products line? Would that be possible, Jed?

Yep..... Like Alan says we are expecting them to arrive any day now. It's been a long process to get them to be as close to the originals as possible. We have tried out a few samples that we were just not happy to stock. I have one of the samples on my van at the moment that wasn't quite good enough. The final cover we did settle on has been tested over the last couple of months and has been passed around to be abused on both 14" vans and 16" vans and is currently on the back of Lloydy's van. We gave it to him because he is such a fussy git to see what he thinks when fitted to the biggest standard size wheel.

They are not going to have a crappy sticker or a transfer on them but quality screen printed like our shirts so they will last for many years.

Hopefully ready for next week.

Sounds great - put me down for one. But what about those of us with 15 inch wheels? Will the 16 inch one fit?

E D I T later - Sorry, I misread the post. Sounds like it's a 'one size fits all'?

Hi Jed, do you have a rough idea on the cost? Very interested and can't wait to see what they look like.

Hi,

Got to factor everything in so wont have an accurate idea of the cost until we have them in our hands.

But rest assured they're not going to cost nearly as much as one from VW (if you could get one).

:ok

I'll take one. I have a plain black one here for a 15" but a new, chunky friendly one is required :)
