    just a quick question lads.the car comes with a set of 18 inch alpina alloys on it.unfortunately i noticed 2 of the centre caps are missing.after doing a bit of research on the net i think they are called staggered??????

    any ideas where i could get two caps from and also i might sell them as the tyres look expensive.lol.any ideas what they might be worth?they looked in fairly good nick but i wont know for sure till tuesday:-(

  • Quote

    if staggered it means the rears are wider than the fronts, ideal for a rear wheel drive car B)

    id look into getting the centre caps replaced , id also think about keeping them, you will regret it other wise
