Guys I did mine myself, they wrap really well - just take the chrome off, cut the vinyl to approx size, stick on & put the chrome back - buy a scrap of vinyl from eBay & have a go is easy !

I never realised it would be so easy!!

Removed centre caps, outer silver clips off, Audi ring badge removes easily, bought some wrap for £1.99 of fleabay and am going to wrap them!

You could do them any colour you wanted to!

I decided to spray mine and I'm really happy with the results.

Removed the silver outer and the Audi rings, sprayed the grey caps blue, sprayed the silver outers and then refitted.

Makes the car look great!!

Spray was £3 a tin from B&Q.

Good job, yes I was amazed how simple they are to do - the chrome ring makes them very forgiving on the quality of the wrapping. I used the glue gun to put a dab of glue on the tab that holds rings on as with the vinyl they didn't locate as well as before but I think this was unecessary.

You may find a hairdryer helps soften the vinyl/pull it into shape then use a "lolly stick" of similar to push the rings shape into the cap.
