Yeah, don't have wheel trims that anyone else wants...

Are they definitely going missing when the car is parked ?
If not, maybe they are coming off whilst cornering (if you have the
same sort of idea as Derek ;-).
Other than that, don't replace them

| Dave,
That's what you get for living in Leeds!!!
Huw :-)
P.S. leave 'em off and spray the wheels silver

Alloys & locking wheel nuts?
(What I've got after some b*****d nicked two of my alloys!)

| Alloys don't help...
I've got them but there are these little tiny discs in the middle, to
cover up the untidy mechanical bits that hold the wheel on, and they
keep coming loose.
they don't come sufficiently loose to fall off, just enough to
rattle......all the time......{sigh}

| Ian,
Have you tried a couple of drops of Loctite, or a few dabs of something
non-setting like Blue Hylomar? That might stop them rattling.

| re: painting the steel wheeels silver (suggested by Huw)
I've also thought of trying to remove the black paint (wire wool?)
to get back to the steel finish. Would it need a protective coating to
prevent rust? Are the ordinary Fiesta steel wheels coated with anything?

| 1466.12 | Check your nuts.... | WARNUT::RICE | At last the GPX750 is back on the road... | Mon Jun 17 1991 18:02 | 10 |
| The naff white trims recently fell off me mums Fester Popular, it seems
that Ford left the black plastic "nut-covers" on under the trims
causing the trims to not seat properly (The "nut-covers" are used to
tidy up the wheel when there's no trims on at all), might be worth
checking.
BTW. If anyones got a set of trims for a new Fiesta which they are
desperate to get rid of I might be interested.
Steve.

| re.11 Try just spraying them silver and then clear varnish stuff!.
You could also not bother cleaning the wheels for a while, then the
thieving g!t would either not bother or get dirty in the process of
stealing the trims.

| 1466.14 | Change the car! | CRISPY::GERRYT | | Tue Jul 09 1991 17:07 | 5 |
| Alternatively, change the car for a Citroen BX.
They'd have to remove the wheel nuts!
