Coverage and how to read this overview
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.

Yes. Either carfully bend a piece of coat hangar etc into an "L" and hook off. Take care the ends of the wire rod are not sharp/burred and scratch anything. Alternatively, I just used a small Allen key (2.5 or 3mm) and hooked it through hole. Gently pull the Allen key with a pair of pliars. They pop out easily. The second version is probably better as the Allen key won't bend and the nice straight "L" will "push" evenly from behind when you pull the shaft perpendicular to the cap face.

Thanks guys - 2 allen keys and two pliers per cap did the trick! I can't believe how much better car looks - given that the old badges had flaked off! topped it off with some tyre spray to make em look black...all in all the best 3 min cosmetic mod i have done (but then again I have only had car for 24 hours!)

Front two spot on but rears not correct. Its just come back from an OPC where it had a major service so they must have taken the wheels off but maybe not the caps. Country's gone to the dogs!! ld:
