They definitely look a lot better than rusty bolts.

Knew Dave that there were much cheaper caps on ebay AFTER I bought mine at £30 odd so your info is very useful to other members. Have you got any of his other contact details ?
Actually I spent hours looking for chrome bolts or caps and knew the price was stupid for what they are but could not find any other solution.
Years ago I bought the same sort of caps at my local motor factors for something like £5. They lasted well & were still on my BMW when I sold it.
The motor factor wanted to stock caps again but could not find a source.
