FAO: those with G60 steels and the black plastic centre caps

Post by Si_GTi »

I need your help! :lol:

How do the black plastic centre caps fit - properly/securely - onto the G60 steels? It looks like they should clip in behind the bolts?

Any advice? Or pics? The guys at my local dealership have no idea!

Cheers

no. if you put the centre caps on before you put the bolts in you cant tighten the bolts enough without cracking the centre cap. What i do is put the wheel on (put all nuts on to correct torque etc...) then place the centre cap on cover it with a cloth and knock it on with a mallet it works every time then put the little covers over the bolts and the jobs a monkey :D
