Mate, as far as l am aware they are not available anymore because Ford stopped everybody from making and or selling em . Something to do with copyright infringement. I can't remember the actual site but if you Google wheel center gels / stickers you might find something. All l know is now they are as rare as rockinghorse shite :mrgreen:

Yep, got a 57 plate MK7.

Its got some ply racking in the back from a Vivaro, a floodlight above the back door and snow tyres on the back.

On 165,000 miles, trusty daily workhorse.

Yet to do that one, however l do three alarm systems .one is the rac fitted gemel, a secondary system which incorporates anti tilt and perimeter monitoring. And one for the spare wheel. Anyone touches it I'll know :lol: :twisted:

Thats one of the reasons why I've fitted secondary systems. Even winds the windows up automatically if l forget. Basically if you open a door or smash a window all hell breaks loose and l get text alerts :mrgreen:
