Styling How would I go about fitting new wheel nut sticker badges?

[Nick_S]

What's the easiest way to go about this, my new abarth ones have arrived and I want to fit them.

Shall I prise them off with a screwdriver (I aint bothered about the scratch caused as it won't be seen undeerneath) and then clean with white spirit?

You mean centre cap stickers? Put the screwdriver away. Take the wheel off. Pop the centre cap out from the inside of the wheel. Cut through the adhesive on the old badge with a knife, remove the old sticky with petrol, spirit wipe or acetone, put the new badge on, put back the centre cap from the front.

Using a screwdriver may break the cap, white spirit won't usually touch the sticky.

Ta, but I aint taking the wheel off :-/ If i wanted to do that I woulda purchased proper centre caps. lol.

Yeha centre cap stickers my bad, I'm not good at terminology.

I thought white spirit was good for removing stickers?

You lazy bugger. Take the wheel off. The old stickers are very difficult to remove.

Do it properly or the car will end up looking like a shed with half stuck on Abarth badges.

Already done it, you're taking the slash if you think removing the fiat logo inside is easy.

You can't cut it, it's solid plastic not a sticker.

Confused - it is so easy to take the wheel off & pop out the centre cap - why use stickers instead?

I did it the proper way and bought new abarth centre caps
