Styling Grrr... Something is a miss

[bookabooka]

Hi All

I awoke this morning to find that some scrotum had pilfered my centre caps off my wheels. After much Googling and Forum searching I cannot find a source for replacments. :bang:

I would be eternally grateful if someone here knows a man who knows a man who knows a source to where I can get some please help.

See the attachment to see the ones that I mean.

Thanks in advance.

I think your best bet is to go to your local Fiat Dealership and ask them for the part number for them and get a price. You may be able to find somewhere online once you have the part number. May also be a good idea to ask Shop4Parts if they can get hold of them.

Your Fiat dealer will be able to help.

Or you can PM me your chassis number and I will look the part number up and a July 2012 price.

It will be your responsibility to verify part number etc.

REMEBER! When ever purchasing / ordering a part from a Fiat dealer do not quote a part number unless you are 110% certain of the part number.. Part numbers change regularly and it is the Fiat Parts Dealer's job to get you the relevant current part. If you quote a P/N then that is what you will get. If you ask for the correct specific part then it is the dealer's responsibility to deliver the correct part.

Thanks both, I will interrogate the dealers to see howmuch. Any ideas on how to prevent them being nicked again?

Only wear them on special occasions?
I have the same wheels so I feel your pain.

My wheels need a little refurb and was quoted £80 a wheel, but my question is would you change them to a single colour as this may be cheaper or is that blasphemy??

 

[NightHaunter666]

Yes 3 of mine are in need of repair, the shiny part almost seems to have chipped off.
Maybe take a photo and use a little photoshop to see what you prefer. Personally the 2 tone wheels was part of what attracted me to my car, so id prefer to restore to original. But I won't judge you! Make it your own.

I am the same, the main selling point were the wheels for me and also the looks of the car. I may try and photoshop it and post back if it looks any good for opinions.

 

[NightHaunter666]

Good plan. No shortage of definitive opinions on here!

If you do anything on photoshop let us know. my wheels have seen better days and tempted on just getting the unicolour (shame really)

Photoshop I did a couple of years back

 

[marktaylor063]

Photoshopped well! Just dont like them all one colour as i expected

I kinda like them like that, they give the impression of being larger than they actually are. And they will be cheaper to fix... Hmmm decisions decisions...

 

[NightHaunter666]

Yeah I don't like them all silver, good work with pic though.
Can you buy a tin of paint that drys to a chrome finish to just touch up the curbed areas?
