    Yeah, I'm not surprised you hardly drink these days, anyone with any sense wouldn't drink at all or at most very rarely and your one of the most down to earth chaps I know. Still over a month dry for me again now, I do still think about it, but it's more feelings of embarrassment and regret as opposed to cravings.

    Another thought on the centre caps... If you want simple flat ones it wouldn't be too difficult to get someone to turn them on a lathe out some alloy stock, all it needs to be is a disc with a chamfered off face with a groove around the edge for a retention spring clip to sit in, I know someone who's got the machining skills to do this if need be. Without CAD it might take a bit of trial and error to get the first one spot on but once you've got one for reference it wouldn't really take that long to turn the other four or five depending on how many spare's you want to keep in stock.

    • Cheers Kit. Another option will be to get the boy to 3d print some for me when back from Uni next

      • That's also a very good idea.

        • Stickers have come back from the printers. I’m quite pleased.


          And fitted to wheels.



          Just need to sort the centre cap ones now.

              • Thanks. I just copied the originals best I could.
                just thinking about the best way to protect these. Would lacquer be ok. I'm worried it might fade.

                • You could use a ceramic coating from Gyeon for example for protection, please remain seated when you see the prices mind.
                  Alternatively I'd try a durable paste wax.

                  • I will use some wax. I have a spare set if required

                          • They were actually a paint to fit as I noticed they need tapered bolts
                            Then I remembered that I actually had the original wheel bolts for these wheels that came in one of the boxes full of parts when the car arrived.
                            A quick hunt through my bolts box and I found them. However, the locking bolts were ALL damaged so I'm four short
