center-cap beautification

Well mates,
Have been thinking on this for awhile. Decided to mod me center cap of the Braelins. I wanted it to be tasteful and natural looking. The Braelin center-caps are approximately 3". Geez, they are big, compared to the Jag's caps.
So, this is what I settled on......

Ken,

Nice job! You remedied one of my concerns about Braelin aftermarket wheels - OEM Jaguar center caps don't fit.

How did you do it? Did you remove the top portion of the Jaguar "Heritage" center cap from the bottom portion (with the clip fasteners) and then epoxy that top portion to the Braelin cap? If not, how did you get the Jaguar cap to fit?

Stuart, ....what you stated is what I did. The center cap as ordered, was approx. 7/8" larger than the standard Jag insert. So, I carefully lifted the center medallion away from it's cap. Then, using "Trim emblem" adhesive applied them to the Braelin center cap.
Please remember to remove the thin film of protective plastic film from them. Ha, Ha!
