collected wheel trims from the post office this afternoon...
and fitted one to the deflated spare wheel sat in the drive way... fine...
perfect fit.

when i tried to fit it to a wheel on the van it wont go... simply because of the moulding on the trim rear which is moulded to fit a 5 stud... *damn mk.6 and mk.7s* and mine is a 6 stud... so some cutting and rubbing down they will fit my gentle green giant... :)
