The rover clips will wreck the paint on your wheels though...

Evening, I got them from here http://stores.ebay.co.uk/ARIESWITHSCORP ... 7675.l2563" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, I wasn't expecting them to be any good really but they're made from good embossed vinyl. Loads of colours/styles available.Emma&Al wrote:Jrt - where did you get your middle sticker bits from? I like those!

It was thanks to this thread I decided to get a set myself, there's loads for sale around 10-15 quid.itchyfeet wrote:there are three bumps on a standard wheel, the standard hub cap clips over them, a bit of a push and it clips home.
Not sure about the rover ones they may clip onto the outer rim like the beauty rings, either way you should just push them on.

I like. Am very tempted to do the same. You got any photos of them on the van? Do you have the beauty rings with yours?

Yeh that one looks lovely, but has the beauty rings. I'm interested to see them fitted without the rings.

Ah, I must be being stupid. I thought the white trim were white beauty rings - I guess they're just painted wheels?
