Alloy centre cap

Post by Digiman »

Hi, Some person has pinched a centre cap from one of my alloys :cry: Does any one know how much a replacement will be from a dealer. I thought ebay might have had some but all I can find are some stick on ones. Or are there any aftermarket ones available.

My dealer gave me four for the winter tires after I asked politely. :yes:
So they are probably very cheap :D

How easy is it to remove them? as I have a couple of chips on a couple of mine. And if I get any more marks, I may replace them.

cheers

You can lever them out with a screwdriver but you run the risk of damaging either the cap or the wheel - easiest to push them out from behind with the wheel off.

My Roc now has all its caps in place, well until some other thieving sod decides to pinch another :grumpy: . Thanks to all for the info. :yes:
