Where did you get the dust caps from Buggaluggs ?
Hi JB GTI, They are genuine vw ones, £20+vat, order the ones for rubber tyre valves as there is a choice, cheers. :smiley:

Is there anything on them dust caps to stop people nicking them? Everytime I've had metal dust caps they've been pinched.

They should have a little grub screw to deter the unprepared thief. It would be a bugger if you didn't keep the allen key with you when you needed an air top-up.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

But then the little B******s will get some pliers and destroy your valves nicking your dust caps. Gits!!

I should hope so !! Can anyone confirm the grub screw is fitted to these. Also just had look on the VW site but I can't find them anywhere in the accessories section. ( but I am a bloke )

Got my wheel bling from the Wolfsburg factory shop last Summer. (18 Euro)
All four still there, I do keep the plastic originals in the glove box just in case though.

No grub screw.

Fitted my BBS CK's
Then decided they don't look right on the mk7 as it's such a fussy car as far as wheels are concerned.  :cry:
I think the only wheels I've seen that I like the look of on the mk7 so far are the standard GTD 18's and the Santiagos or the hideously expensive CH-R's.
Back to the drawing board…  :angry:
