the badge has to come off to coat underneath them. you can possibly re-use them, or buy new ones to stick back on.

as a guide to how they will look (these are actually vectra supertouring wheels iirc, and 16" rather than 15, but very similar):

just makes them look a bit more 'motorsporty'
the standard caps are fairly plain, so i left em off and IMO that looks better
