Title: Wheel nut covers
Post by: TYNEGTI on 01 May 2012, 14:05
Hello everyone. First post on here!  :wink:

I recently decided to revisit Memory Lane & bought a MK2 8v GTI. Takes me right back!

3 door Royal Blue metallic & very straight & tidy. Bought off another forum member, Dave.

As with all cars there is some minor tidying & detailing to do which brings me to my question. The wears 15'' BBS RA's but the black nut covers are missing. I've managed to get the standard black ones from VW (29P each!) but the cover for the locking wheel bolt is obsolete. Does anyone on here know what can be used as a substitute?

Cheers,

Steve

I'd apply a significant dose of not giving a f*ck to this problem.

Or just run non-locking wheel bolts, but then wheels don't really go missing around here.

Or buy a new set of lockers with similar to original looking caps.

A warm welcome I see. There's always one!  :laugh:
Not interested in your view & it's not a problem I just want my car looking right hence my post.

No DH is not Bellend, Bellend is a 15year old who uses de-icer to fix everything and anything.

On my BBS RAs I have chrome nut covers off e-bay - not the best quality but with  the chrome head to the locking wheel bolts they all match nicley into the colour of the wheels.

Any help?

Something constructive, thanks. I'll have a look on the Bay.
