Suggestion
I use a small allen key through one of the holes and then gently pull - don't tug as you'll crack the cap......Or as you say if the wheel is off then push from behind.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Had my wheel centre caps nicked last night :sad:
Have been looking around and they are pricey to replace (circa £40 each)
Any advice on repacements ?
any one know of reasonabley priced locking ones ?
(no laghighing ok)
:hand:
I've got a set of Carrera 4 Inserts you can have if you pay the postage.
When Sundeep gets up the 911UK.Com Charity Account you can put a couple of bob in the tin then.
If you want to go ahead give me a PM.
Best Regards Big Bob
Have a look on fleabay. Most are cheap knockoffs but there are some
originals where poeple have changed them for a different style
or have spares. I haven't heard of any that lock, but I suppose you could glue the centre to the wheel.
TB
Just perhaps E Bay is encouraging people to steal them off Forum Members cars to sell back to them at a profit to crime :cop:
This is a very worrying possibility :wack:
Regards Big Bob :bye:
I agree with Bob and would discourage purchasing any used ones from fleabay. If they are new in packaging, then probably fine.

BTW mdasey, we're nearly neighbours (I'm midway between Chislehurst & Bromley) so dissapointed to hear about the thieving little ar$ewipes in this area. Just glad that mine is garaged.

i actually need a couple for my car.
how do these come off?, i have 2 small holes in the crest, do you need a special tool, because i thought you would need to take the wheel off and push them out from the back?!
