wheel nut covers falling off?
hi - i recently "lost" one of the plastic covers that covers the wheel nutes on my 19" 5 spoke alloys. on further inspection, the rest of them are all just super flimsy and not actually clicked in any way.

has anyone else had similar issues?


im expecting at some point they will end up falling out.

Sounds like an Amazon/eBay item. Not too sure, but I don't think the factory would use cheap lug bolt covers.. But you never know these days. Also, posting in the correct C63 section might get you more accurate answers.

You're in the wrong forum mate. The last C43 was built in 2000!

The last c43 that didn't look like an amorphous blob was built in 2000.
