Classic centre cap part.

Post by zedwheels » Mon Apr 19, 2021 6:45 pm

A bit of a shock :!: Just looked at Alloy Wheels direct for a replacement striker arm to pull the centre cap in tight on one wheel, and for that small item its £5.77 :D but the postage is £27.17 :shock: £32.94 for a little steel clip all thanks to Brexit apparently, Alloy wheels says shipment costs has at least doubled. I have taken it off once and gave it a little smack with a hammer and that worked for a while but the cap isn't sitting flush again. Anyone sorted this issue before using local supplier :?:

Have you thought of using BMW to order it for you? I used BMW Gatwick to order some Alpina floor mats from Germany, and it was very straightforward.

I may need a full set of Softline replacement locks, so was thinking I might just order them through Gatwick, for the same reason you gave.
