Hi

Does anyone know a trick on how to remove the centre cap of the 17" sport alloy without marking them????? (the cap covers the wheel nuts)

Is there a tool you can buy rather than using a screw driver and marking them.

I hate damaged alloys


Please help

Just use a screw driver or the blade of your key. If you mark them then your doing it wrong. They just pop off without much force being needed.

I've had mine off a few times using a small flat bladed screw driver and not a mark was left.

flat blade screwdriver wrapped in insulation tape.

if your worried about using a screwdriver, mine came off easily enough using a GAME loyalty card!

A new competition....

What's the strangest thing you've used to remove your alloy wheel centre caps?

Mine's is mother nature herself in the form of wind. During a storm the wind blew a plastic flower pot down the driveway and into my rear wheel which in turn knocked off the centre cap. How did mother nature know I intended to paint my brake calipers the next day

Haha thats awesome

It wasn't Mother Nature mate... Sorry to tell you that! It was someone trying to "borrow" your wheels but got scared and ran away when you came out

Hope it will never happen to any of us cause I love them 2tone alloys!:slayer:

My car is on the way from Italy to Poland - I've changed my holidays and I'm going back to Poland in 2weeks (i'm just back to ie from there since wednesday) to collect it and drive it back :devil: CAN'T WAIT!

I sat and watched it happen from my window holding my breathe as the plant pot headed for the car wondering exactly where it was gonna hit !

Huge sigh of relief when it hit the Wheel and the only damage was a knocked off centre cap
