Seicento Centre Caps

Hi,
Whats the size of the centre caps on the standard alloys on the Seicento (see link) http://foto.spullenbank.nl/common/im...37/_T33707.jpg

I've seen some Abarth ones at 50mm, will these fit?

Thanks,
Simon

Re: Seicento Centre Caps

the only way i have com across is takin the wheel off and pushing from the back.

some come out a lot easier than others! stand the wheel up and lightly tap, well moderatly, dont go mental, with a hammer is a winner for the stubborn ones, but try pushing them with your fingers first!

Re: Seicento Centre Caps

Can you post a link to the Abarth ones? I bought some Abarth ones and they are a rubberised sticker which sticks over the existing cap, it's more than likely that you are looking at those

they are actual caps, but i have seen the 'sticker' ones a bit cheaper, are these just as good?

Re: Seicento Centre Caps

hmmm neva tried.... cant think of a way either cause they need a proper push to get them out, u MIGHT be able to get them out with a flat blade of sum sort, but run the risk of damaging them

Re: Seicento Centre Caps

I doubt you'll get them off with a flat blade - you'll either scratch the alloy, gouge the alloy or damage the cap.

The only way I managed to do it was to get a piece of wood behind the centre cap and hammer it, so I think you'll have to take the alloy off.
