Buy a plain one, put a sticker on it.

Crankenwagen did this one for me for Syncro 25 using a stencil and spray paint and it hasn't deteriorated at all

For painting and stickers make sure its smooth. Mine has a textured finish which won't take a sticker and paint will not have crisp edges.

Yep, ill be damned if I can get a sticker to stay on mine. It appears to be stuck on until the next morning, and its on the floor.

The spare wheel cover is still available from VW in 14 inch and also in 16 inch version but for a T4. I bought two of the 16 inch ones, very very good quality vinyl, wood backing plate inside and the syncro logo on it! The only difference with the T25 one is that the syncro writing is "open" on these, on the T 25 ones the syncro writing was fully in white.

Not cheap though, about 150 euro's each at the VW dealer, but definately worth the money in my opinion.

Rob.

Rob,

When did you buy your wheels cover. I've tried getting a 16" one and was told it was NLA, would really like to get hold of one.

Cheers Andy e
