If not, any other suggestions? Dealer keep promising the replace free of charge but it never happens...

Don't get them. Go to yours local tps and get the vw ones look so much better

dont forget, if you have locking nuts then these will be slightly different and youll need 4 of those

Cheers, £0.86 each from TPS which is a bit pricey but worth it to get rid of the discoloured ones I've got.

 

Are locking wheel bolts fitted as standard on the vRS with gigaro wheels? All of the cover caps look exactly the same but I haven't pulled any off yet.

 

I'm trying to get a coroded wheel replaced under warranty and pointed out that I must used chemical cleaners on the wheels which I've never done as the caps have discoloured. I always hand wash my car myself and only use car shampoo (Autoglym, Meguairs or Mer) on both the bodywork and the wheels. I just said they were like that when I bought the car from them. Thought replacing them all would shut them up.

It's amazing how they can make allegations like that without any proof and treat you like some kind of liar.

Mine was about about £5 for all 20 of them 16 at 17 mm and then 4 for the locking wheels bolts.

from the outside they all look the same, its only inside the cap where its different

afaik all vrs's came with locking nuts as new

Thanks for all the comments, really helpful. Will keep pushing the dealer. Apparently they have loads just lying on the workshop floor...

My used Fabia came without wheel bolt covers and dealer sent 20 in a Jiffy bag. Only problem was the locking bolts are different but you can get genuine ones to fit. Keep pestering, if necessary go to his boss....

It's normal for the dealers valet guys to stick a job load of chemical on the wheels etc when they get there scratching little hands it your car, it nuts me out the way they treat our cars, i tell them not to valet mine when it goes in.
