Hi Chaps, the Rover badge on the centre caps off my 16" Unions is fading to black and need replacing ... before I find replacement parts ... how do I remove the centre caps without damaging them please??

Cheers

AFIK the only way to remove the caps is to take off the wheel and push them out from the inside..

Happy new year..

Thanks Dave - sounds sensible to me (that would mean that if anyone thieves these things - assuming the wheels are left on(!) - they will damage the caps - which seems pointless?? but anyway!)

All the best for the New year

Going back to Steve's original post.......

Becareful as there are lot's of different types of wheel centres. I bought a set for A ZT and they turned out to be for a ZS. Slightly different depth and wrong colour.

I'll try and dig them out and post a photo showing the difference. I did get the correct set in the end for about £12.

Hi Chris happy new year are those rover badges just stuck on I got the same problem with mine they are fading

Hi Derek

It appears the disk has an indent with the badges as stickers of some sort in the indent - I suppose if I could get the badges alone I could remove the old and stick down the new yes. In my case the badges are turning black (brake dust I imagine - especially the front wheels) rather than fading.
