Minispares have had them listed for ever, wife has come home with a cap missing, I knew it would happen hence I keep a few spare caps but its the clips that have gone. Minispares out of stock! Ive got 5 wheels being powdercoated right now and the missing cap is going to ruin all my hard work, travelled to Leicester to get some rims, took the wheels to have tyres took off, took them to be blasted then took them to be coated silver, new tyres on order and now a missing cap! :(

Anyone got any stuck to any spare wheels, thanks.

It's these,

I may be able to help you.

 

Ill go and have a look this evening.

 

3 of the steel wheels on my 25 are original to the car and one is off of a late 80's City and still has the clips present i believe if you are happy with used ones that will need cleaning up?

Brilliant! I dont mind used, I'm reluctantly going to try putting two cable ties through each cap because I'm not going to be able to get the caps and clips forever am I? As many as you can salvage and the cost of postage just let me know what you want and how to pay you for them mate, thanks.

The fact a lot of these stock parts including nimbus grey parts getting sold lately after they have been stocked for ages shows I'm not the only one making a standard 80s car ;)

There are only the four mate.

 

Ill pop them out tomorrow and if they are usable then it will just be a quid for the postage.

 

Cheers

Nice one mate :-) Just went on minispares as I thought I best buy a few more centre caps after losing one I only have one for each wheel plus the spare in the boot, ideally I wanted to keep a full set of four as a full spare set plus the clips, logged in centre caps no a recognised item now! I went a drive to look for the one that flew off but I cant find it, Lol.

 

I will pm you the address now, thanks again :-)
