Hi, is it possible to remove current centre caps by prising them off with the wheel still in place, or do I need to remove the wheel and push them through from the reverse?

You can remove the OE badges without removing the wheels. Use a very thin/small flat head screwdriver to prise them out. There is a small gap between the badge and wheel.

I've just ordered a set of these. I'll let you know what they're like but not expecting too much for £10.99.

They will of course be better than the crappy things that are on the car at the moment.

Too early to tel yet. Ask me again at the end of a long cold salty winter  :D

The guy I bought them from doesn't seem to do feedback though  ::)
