Rota Centre Caps

Post by GHOST »

Three are fine. One keeps falling out. Luckly I've found it both times.

Tempted to take out the other three but do they actually serve a purpose other than aesthetics? Just looks bad having one missing on a really expensive set of wheels. And I'm not sure I want to glue the offending one in.

Apply some silicone sealant to it should hold it nicely and is easily removable should a need arise

Silicone. Great idea. Ironically its on the wheel my capiper was seized on. Saying that, its a new caliper now and completely free. Could it have been the heat that damaged it?

I wonder if I'll ever own an MR2 where a caliper doesn't seize!
