Looking at a J plate 320i convertible that's for sale for a relative of mine.

It's got the 'smooth' Alpina reps on it, but the centre caps are missing.

Where can I get some replacements...?

Also, it's Granite Silver, no leather, manual hood, 90k miles and it's in good condition apart from the leading lower edge of the two doors have quite large 'scabbing' on them, and there's the infamous hole in the windscreen scuttle to attend to. Stupid blacked out indicators, black grill, small number plates and a Hartge style stainless rear box. It's also lowered 60mm or there abouts with adjustable Spax shocks on. It's also due a service (last one 7k miles ago).

It's up at Ԛ£3300... a price that the guy knows he won't get, but he's hoping for a 'muppet' to come along - his words not mine. I let mine go, that was in better condition and had leather for Ԛ£2500... so I'm thinking that this one is only worth Ԛ£2250 tops... a full grand less than the asking price.

Anyone agree with me...? Difficult I know without pictures.

Alpina centres are about Ԛ£40, available from cuk325 I think,
Ԛ£2250 is a reasonable price..

Yea that's what I mean as well, as far as I was aware he could get the whole centre cap and makes the centre sticker himself, I could be wrong though - I've worried enough times about mine being nicked and thought to myself he would be the 1st person I'd contact incase they did!
