Well thats not cool - I noticed that one of mine (from my two tone alloys) came back from the tyre fitter with half of the lugs broken - I cant be certain that it wasnt like that before and couldnt find any replacements so just blu-tacked it n and its been fine ever since. Not that thats a lot of help to you of course, but please let me know if you find any. Cheers.

Thanks whitebravo.

Can you provide any links to genuine Fiat ones though - mine have a much bigger surround than the badge in the centre. Please see the below image and compare against the following eBay auction, where the logo seems to consume the entire cap.

Ahhhh! I have the same ones with the bolt covers, Andy.
I haven't seen them for sale anywhere though

I bought red scorpion centre caps and turns out they were for the other ones that you and I don't have, but was easily sorted by sanding off the clips, removing the FIAT sticker/badge and using bondite to stick the new ones in place. Just really hope no one nicks the bolt covers.

i'm looking for you guys but to no avail. Am I right in saying that these wheels aren't available on the facelifted Bravo? If so, maybe contact Fiat directly and see if they have any centre caps from old/damaged stock they could sell you

The ones on ebay will be the ones people have stolen from people's cars!

You can get them from Fiat but they are around £15-20 each

EACH!??!?!?!? As in 15 - 20 per centrecap? Cause that's just silly...

I've not priced it up but the center caps for a Stilo, which are same size as ours more or less, are 17.50 ex tax.

Some others for the Croma are 9.00 ex tax. We're still talking quite a cost for a full set if they are the cheaper of the two. Get a price there and I'll get a price here. If its much more there we can sort something out.

ePer shows them at just under £10 add on 12% import tax (shop here gets everything from spain) then add their mark up which i dont know then it may be about £20+ a corner and im not going to be paying ~£80 for some plastic discs! i remeber buying some lockable ones for a renault clio for about £30!

I think ill go into spain and find a bravo and steal the covers - just to restore the karma.

Those fit straight on to your alloys. Theres some yellow ones on there too.

If you can hang on for a couple of months going to order some 18's for mine, then you can have my centre caps for the price of a couple of beers. (will order beginning of june, so should have them beginning of july or so)
