Changing Centre Caps

[jcmanc72]

After promising to myself that I would not start messing about with it, I’ve gone and bought a set of genuine RS centre caps…

Any tips to help me remove the originals without causing £100s of damage to the wheels please?

To me the fit looks tighter than OJ’s glove and I predict some swearing and a trip to the body shop.

Guidance appreciated.  Thanks.

wheels… off !

No nothing.

No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

No tackiness.

Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

Innit?

Defo wheels off and push caps out.

it fitted perfectly and cost £1.50

I used a sat nav suction cup or a dash cam cup, worked well so didn’t have to remove wheels ?

Yep use a suction cup. I have about 60 of them as every time I buy a replacement screen for various phones I fix for friends and family I get one with it.

I’m still undecided to as whether I like em or not as think the black std ones are nice and subtle and blend in with the forged rims themselves rather than all glossy.plusI’m keeping my car std…. 😎   ha  ha ha
