Wheel trim wanted

Post by Jaba »

I have lost a wheel trim in the snows this winter. Does anyone have one or a set for sale ?
Its the syle showing as my avatar that I need.
Alternatively does anyone have some hens teeth available.

I don't think I've ever seen those trims - they weren't available in Germany - what models were they fitted to? I can do you a whole set of Leader trims instead which look alright too.

These trims were standard on GTi 8v and TZD turbo hatchbacks 1990-on AFAIK in the UK at least.

I agree - alloys! The GTI in Germany came with alloys as standard.

I think these would 'suit you sir!' :wink:

PM sent.


ALLOYS: wheel trims don't fit on alloys Mulley :o

Thanks for the history guys. This is for my 91 GTi, which puzzles me as I thought GTis always came with alloys as standard. Anyway either way I have alloys for normal use and steels for use with my snow tyres with wheel trims - well only three available at the moment.

Thanks for being so alert on my behalf Ken. It is similar to mine but not near enough to be one to buy. Looks more suited to an AX perhaps.
Please keep your eyes open for another one though.
