Wheel trim for 1.4 Fabia Classic please?

The garage is asking £17 - seems a lot for a bit of whatever it is. I don't mind if it won't have the Skoda logo on. Any ideas please, as not many pennies at the moment.

Although you can probably get a full set for the same price as the OEM one, the OEM ones clip into special holes on the wheel, and so ought to stay put better than aftermarket ones. Having said this, a couple of cable ties will make ANY wheel trim stay put, and since your asking, I guess one of you OEM ones has fallen off which kind of destroys my argument about how good they are!

Not sure, ap0gee. It went in for its MOT and apparently needed a new tyre. The previous Skoda trim was attached with nylon ties, because I know I clip that when parking in curved spaces, LOL.

I didn't notice for a while that it was missing (being the other side) and had had no parking whoopsies. The ties are still there. I asked the garage if they'd simply forgotten to put it back on and was it lying around? They said no, and that maybe it had been nicked. Sounds highly unlikely to me TBH, but I'm just in the position of needing a new one, or leaving it naked

*flutters fan*
