The center cap emblems are available separately (from the dealer, from many
mail order places) and are glued on. They are made of metal. There are
also cheaper stickers you can use.

Bavarian Autosport had them last time I looked ( 1 800 535 2002 ?? )

The center cap emblems often came with a layer of plastic over
them. This was supposed to be peeled off. If it wasn't it yellowed and
got stuck permanently.

hope this helps
