'course they can have hubcaps :!:

You have centre caps like the early mk5. and you also get the type that cover your bolts and give you a smoother look :wink:

What size wheels do you have :?:

True :!: But there is a couple of after market ones that'll look ok :wink:

And if you have 15" wheels, you could fit the mk5 Custom ones that covers the lot :?:

Then there's the Taxi ones :?:

Or go alloy :?: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And don't forget the mk7s :!:

You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.
