Dear guys,

It was so unfortunate for me today that my wheel rim screw cap dropped off.

Later, i discovered that all the screw cap were not fixed properly. They just simply put it without pushed it hard.

Go now to check yours before drop it.

Wondering how much it costs for the said cap?

It should be the hexagon chrome nut cap for all tyres. Four of them for each wheel, you need to push it in to fix properly cos I do this everytime i clean the rim.

The GT ones should be different, since you have a diff rim.

Noticed my was loose few days ago, pressed it back hard with my thumb. It works.

Also BEWARE of kites, recently a kite drop from somewhere, went under my car, I continue driving, the string cut the front license plate, front skirting, black vinyl bumper and hood. Manage to use scratch remover on the hood. bumper still scratch (don't know what to do about it).

damn to the bugger who stole my wheel caps, all 4 were gone. i found out from tyre shops that our 17" wheel cap is not of common diameter, as it is smaller than other rims of the same size. not much use for the bugger anyway. called up nasim, each cap cost RM43 each to replace, F**K!. any of u guys can offer alternatives? or else just have to get it from nasim, no choice.

btw, our antenna is another favourite item as it is easily unscrewed but i've glued it with gam gajah, hope that will save it

Reluctant to glue the antenna. If the thief can't remove the antenna, they may wanna do more damage.

The 206 one costs RM 55.00 each... RM 43 should be cheap.... Is it the one in the centre of the rims with the LION logo on it?
Its not what you have...... its how you use it!!
