i had some fitted to my old cooper with an areo kit but had to trim them with a very sharp knife to change the shape of them to mach the areo kit wasnt hard to cut just if you cut to much of then it can look wrong
i had some of these from ebay on my curant mini but as my cars lowerd 30mm they were catching the road so were binned they were a bit long for it

Just got some of these off ebay today (2 sets of 4 just in case we make a muck up of cutting them!). Hopefully we will get them fitted and then I may finally be able to see out of my back window

Nice dry sunny day, just perfect for getting mud flaps fitted - oh dear, locking wheel nut thingy is missing....grrrr!!!
Am I the only person to just assume this would be in the car when it was bought
Phoned garage that I bought it from and they don't know where it is but have offered to pay to get the old ones off the car if I buy new locking nuts - does this seem like a fair deal?

i work in a well known garage we normally just say you have to pay to get them off and pay for a new set comes to over a £100 i would say its a fair deal in my point of view. and at least you will get a key number and know where it is.
