I've just bought this Fiat and going to take the rims off to have a look at the brakes - the factory Fiat rims have a splined nut to remove to access the wheel bolts. In the boot their is a plastic line tool to remove BUT to my surprise the tool doesn't fit. The plastic tool has an out side diameter of about 20mm where are the wheels have an requirement for a spline about 11 or 12mm . I uploaded pictures -

Can anyone help - I'm thinking this should a common piece but where do I find a replacement to remove the wheels - I'm kind of stuck without it... don't want to damage or mash the one getting it off..

I'm in the opposite position to you - I've lost 2 of the splined nuts, so my B has no centre-caps on the rear wheels at the moment. Object lesson to be more careful when 'tidying up' :(
