    Question Hub Caps

    Hi

    A while back I was given a set of chrome hub caps for the golf. I was told that they need a pair of clips to attach them to the wheel. Does anyone know if this is the case, and who might have some?

    At the moment I have plastic wheel nut and hub covers which I assume will have to come off for the hub caps to go on.

    Here's the best pic I have of the wheel (don't have one for the hub cap, bit it's probably 5 inches in diametre and covers the middle of the wheel)



    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers

    the clips are difficult to find indeed, and had a habit of getitng lost and allowing you to lose your hubcaps...

    my dad made some for his. you definately need more than just 2, i would say 4. i'll try to check out how he made them for you.

    Ill check i might have a few around, Ive got a set of hub caps and a pair of the hub covers you have pictured.

    Off topic do you have an LS 2 door and live near the Lion hotel? If so ive seen your car love it so clean! I used to drive past it all the time and wish it had a 4sale sign in it!

    I can get the Nokia software to work on my computer, but cant load pictures to Photo Bucket, does anyone know how? Then I can help out greasy a bit.

    Thanks. You can email me the pics if that's easier. smparker@internode.on.net Or there is a way of uploading pics direct to the site without using photobucket.

    Greasy, have you tried IMPARTS on main north road for clips? I was talking to Dean Hoskin today & while he has no stock he may still be able to get some. His phone no is 82603667.
