Very subtle modification over the usual black ones but I am very happy - cheers to Marshalls for supplying them. They now match the one on the grill!
Apologies for not having the wheel so that the lettering is parallel to the floor (tilt yer head!!) :rice:

Also very happy with the new mers long life tyre dressing that looks this good a week after.

Nice! Am liking those caps very much. Had thought about them when they were first mentioned a short while ago. Will they fit inplace of the old black ones on standard volvo 17's? and can I get them form the volvo dealer?
Sorry for being a bit thick.

I wondered how long that would take ;)

Yeah well ok - so you get first dibs - I get second. :haha:

Tim - yep they are a direct replacement for the black ones. They are the ones currently featured on the new cars (eg C70 folding hard top).
I used a valve grinding stick (with a sucker on the end) to pull the old ones out - saves having to take the wheel off!
Marshalls are a Volvo dealer (read first post) and have a warm and loving relationship LMAO with VPCUK...

ask Wayne/Oli nicely and they may even give you some discount!

Wayne may also be able to direct you to where you can get nice pork pies.

Sorry. I normally search previous threads for info before posting. Thank you for patience and diplomacy.

Hey Dave, the caps look very nice indeedy:) I had my caps sprayed the same colour as the wheels cos I like simple but sometimes I feel they need a lil' detailin so may change 'em at some point:confused:

I like the look of the tyre dressin u r using, have 2 keep my eyes peeled for some o dat, u say a week so far, how long does it usually last?

BTW, do I qualify as one very sad mofo' cos I've got locking 'Volvo' valve caps on my wheels:sorry:

it lasts about long enough between applications (once a week). Thinking of getting this next time...
