Lost one of the trims on the way home!!

It just sheared off (held on by the bolts that hold on the wheel).  The roads in Devon are very bumpy!!!

Question : I have found on the internet wheel trims with nuts for a 13" wheel.  The old trims were held on with the nuts that hold on the wheel so will the nuts  that come with the trim do the same job or what?????    Not sure what to do.

I know I will not be able to buy a single trim to match the existing (1993 Swift) so I will need to buy a pair of new ones.

Advice needed.

i was advised to get 4 from say halfords or some similar kind of motorist shop held on by a wire that is slightly smaller than the wheel trim this can be adjusted

also you can tie wrap them on as well for extra security

Because of the shape of the wheel, it is not possible to fit the spring type trims.

Looks like a trip to a salvage yard may be in order.

Lost one from our Avondale, just fitted car trims without a makers badge, spring ring and all, looks ok and I have 2 spare's

Thanks Jim, I'll sort through the photographs and post one ASAP.   (If I can work out how to do it).

I have added a photograph of my wheel trim to my gallery images, which I think are accessible to you Jim. 

I would be most grateful if you could let me know if your trims are anything like this...would be happy to pay you for a couple - and the postage.

Done it.    Hope this is okay.

That's brill.

Look forward to hearing from you when you  have your new trims sorted for your van!!

Just let me know what I need to send you and I can send you a payment via paypal or a cheque, whichever you prefer.
