To get then out mate , get a small flat headed screwdriver, and almost lever it out mate, works for me at work

No could be anyone to answer. I just know he has them too.
The prices for these little bits of plastic is a joke. I don't wanna fork out £60+ for 4 plastic covers that I can't get off or that may fly off haha.
Will have my wheel off again at weekend when it gets a clean and see if I can get them off without scratching or breaking anything.

SJB1985 you mind me asking how much you paid to have yours colour coded?

That's a good price, was that mates rates or just a standard charge?
What type of place did you get them done, just a general body shop?

KBonnie mates rates and they were done at a paint specialists as they had to be stripped back and replasticised then 2k paint then lacqured ?

SJB1985 thought that price was a bit too good of a price for standard at £5 a piece

you could always take them apart mate and prep them and prime them yourself and get a can of colour coded paint from Halfords and try them yourself?

@Reuuk. Do you know or could you find out if your centre caps have these rings inside them to help the stay on tight?
They fit fine without but come out a little too easily I think. However with them in I can't get them out!!

yeah they do have those rings. one of mine is also 'loose' but stays on fine

I've wanted to get some grey inner sporting headlight for a while but was hoping someone could tell me which ones I need. S1 or S2. This is what the connector from the back of the head light looks like. Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Didn't realise I hadn't posted here for so long. Little update about the lovely M32 gearbox in our cars.
As with many people my car has been whining for rather a long time now in most gears. I decided last month enough was enough and tried to get some quotes to get it repaired.
I found what has turned out to be a top bloke who offered an M32 gearbox repair service over in Halifax, who I couldn't recommend highly enough. He specialises in repairing VXR's usually but obviously we share the same M32 box. His prices were a million times cheaper than anywhere else as he only works for himself in a one man garage and only took him half a day to repair.
I didn't need my clutch doing so he was able to the repair with the gearbox in place and just removing the bearings from the casing.
If anyone would like his details please feel free to get in touch as I am not sure if I am allowed to post his details on the forum or not. If an admin can tell me I am allowed to then I will happily provide a link to his facebook page or ebay advert.
I don't make anything from recommending him either before someone asks me what commission I'm on lol. Just happy to recommend someone that is honest and good at the service they offer.

As a side note I now have my abarth 500 alloys up for sale that will fit everyone's grande punto with the fitting kit I am supplying and have been running for the last year.
