Ultimate tarting

Quinten · 02-02-2007, 13:35

Does anyone know what I can do to remove all the grub and grime from the wheel bolt covers? I was thinking of giving them a good soak in soapy water, but that may not remove any of the greasy stuff... Any chemical stuff I can use without melting them?

And in case you wondering why I would bother... as my alloys are now (half of them) black, I thought it would be nice to respray the bolt covers in black too

Get some Wonder Wheels or the MC2 stuff and give a good soaking.

Quinten · 02-02-2007, 13:55

Ah of course! MC2

I keep forgetting that the stuff works on pretty much anything...

You can get them from Skoda too. They come on the Fabia vRS afaik. I got a set about a year ago. They make the standard alloys look good.

Anyone hazard a guess at the part numbers then?

TeflonTom · 03-02-2007, 11:29

Quinten · 06-02-2007, 20:14

Nope.

867 601 173 01C :: 16x satin black caps for regular nuts
1U0 601 173 01C :: 4x satin black caps for the locking nuts

Don't know what the part number is for the hazelnuts version though
