Nos Motor Spyder Wheel Center Caps (aka Medallion Bullets) on 2040-parts.com
Wilmington, Ohio, US
I was considering keeping the last set of NOS center caps for myself but, have decided to finally part with them. This are EXTREMELY rare and hard to find in this condition! If you have a set of Spyder wheels then I'm sure you can relate. These are in the factory box, with the factory mounting screws still sealed in the plastic bag! I've had these for around 20 years now and had hopes of
eventually using them. But, as time passes, projects and priorities
change...so, I'm offering them up to a good home. They say a picture is
worth a thousand words, so I've tried to capture their condition as
best as possible. There are several faint spot on some of the caps (I'd
describe as VERY small cloudy spots) that the camera couldn't capture. My
guess is the spots will polish out...but, I'm not about to attempt
scrubbing/rubbing/polishing on these (that will be left up to you, the
buyer, to decide). I did lightly clean them off with a glass cleaner
and soft cloth but, I refuse to scrub on them and risk damaging the
finish. There are a few little specks of red paint on them...the same red paint that was used to color in the wording on the caps (see close up picture of with my hand in the cap...you can see one of the red paint marks) . This is only the 2nd NOS set I've ever seen or had in hand and the other set had the same on it. I'm sure it would come off with a little paint remover, if you wanted it off....but, I'm not messing with them since that's how they came factory. Also included is the small bag of screws
that were provided with the wheels from the factory. All in all...these
things are roughly 44 years old and I doubt you'll ever find another
set in better, un-restored, condition. Most have been damaged over the years due to the fact they extend out past the lip of the rim so, when the wheel is removed from the car, if it falls over on it's face...the tips of the center caps get dented/damaged.
If
you have ANY questions or concerns, please ask BEFORE placing a bid. The reserve is $600 and if they don't bring at least that, I'll keep them (so please don't ask if I'll take less).
I'll cover the cost of FedEx ground within the lower 48 states. If you
would like for it to ship via another method or to another location
(outside the lower 48 US states), shipping cost will be up to the
buyer. Last but not least, if you are outside of the US, the declared value will be whatever the selling price is for the caps. Good luck and happy bidding!

***Just to clarify, this is a set of 4 center caps (not 8). I took the pictures with a mirror behind the caps, so that you can see both sides of them.***

Official: Honda F1 becomes Brawn GP
Fri, 06 Mar 2009Honda F1 morphs in to Brawn GP Well, it’s good to see they survived! After reporting last week that the Honda F1 team was going to be the subject of a management buyout, thus securing the team and its employees, an official announcement has now been made and we can confirm that Ross Brawn has taken control of the Honda F1 Team, which will henceforth be known as Brawn GP. It would have been a mighty shame if Ross Brawn had been lost to F1 again.
Vauxhall's new badge
Wed, 09 Apr 2008By Tim Pollard First Official Pictures 09 April 2008 00:00 Vauxhall has redesigned its griffin badge - and the new Insignia is the first car that will bear the new mascot. It's a typically modern rebranding: the graphic designers have zoomed in on the upper torso of the griffin, giving it a sharper, modern look and the word Vauxhall is now incorporated in the badge.The company's grille-wide V front end will be abandoned, the new grille preferring an Opel-style roundel, enlarged and sitting slap bang in the middle of the grille. It's not all change, however.
BMW Vision Future Luxury at 2014 Beijing Motor Show hints at new 9 Series
Sun, 20 Apr 2014BMW unveiled its latest concept on Easter Sunday, which could signal an all-new 9 Series model to top its range. The four-seater concept – called Vision Future Luxury – was revealed at the Beijing Motor Show, but MSN Cars got a sneak preview of the car back in Munich, Germany in early April 2014 and spoke to its key designers to bring you this ‘inside track’ report. The big news is that this Vision Future Luxury concept could herald the introduction of an ultra-luxurious BMW four-door model above the 7 Series, and thus also logically mean that a new 8 Series coupe and possibly 8 Series Gran Coupe could fit in-between.
