Hey,

Just quickly wondering if anyone knows how to properly get those annoying plastic centre caps off alloy wheels without scratching the wheel or snapping the plastic thing???

Got new alloys and don't want to repeat what I did with my old original ibiza ones, and that was end up snapping them all!!!!

i got a tool from a local tool shop.. its like a screw driver with a round end. i then headed it up and bent it 90 degrees. so i slide it in and then strain , then just pull and the plastic cap pops off.

Cheers mate, that worked!!!! Used a screwdrive that I have, which is kind of round before you put any adapters on to make it a screwdriver (if that makes sense).

Now to fit these new wheels on.... in the pouring rain!
