A bloke at my mates work has got these on his new Astra van they look the nuts and certainly fooled me. They must bolt on cant see them being attached with glue sure they wouldnt last long with the heat.

I wouldn't bother TBH and putting (cheap) plastic near items that get really hot isn't the greatest of ideas

They do look good but I wouldnt put them on my Golf just gonna get the proper ones. I would always be worried that somones gonna notice and then ill look like a cheap skate. I wouldnt wear snidey clothes so my baby aint wearing fake stuff either. :laugh:

didn't they come with the instructions like the ad states?
but i agree with what else has been said - putting plastic near high temp brakes is not the best of ideas

No no instructions,i emailed the guy,apparently you have to email them for photo instructions on how to fit them.

Make a nice mess of your arches when they come off doing 70, most probably have a puncture as well. Plus you'll have to scrape all the silicone off when you change pads.
