try this it looks just as cooool.....

i got so sick of the kids nicking them nice metal valve caps.

so buy the plastic ones (just a few pence each)a can of spray paint and colour code em to your car, in theory you can get hundreds of em for little outlay.

ive even had these nicked but what the hell ive got a batch of em in the shed!

Sorry to hear that, thats a real f*cker...someone knicked mine at a Fleet meet once, stoopid expensive BBS ones, but the bitch is it was at a meet where you'd hope for better
Then someone had off with my PIAA mounts at Donington. C*nts! How many 22B's are there?
And I found the Oz valvecaps were knicked off our Audi recently. TIme to stick with the black plastic ones methinks

I seem to be adorning the BMX bikes of every kid in Chelmsford. I've stopped bothering to replace them.

Colin, now you know how I felt when the scum nicked mine last year, I remember all the sympathy you gave me

I see that Demon Tweeks have listened to my wishes and now do valve caps that have a little screw in the them so you can kinda 'lock' them on. Which is pretty cool

Any disadvantages to not replacing them? apart from gits letting your tyres down? does any/much air escape without the caps on?

Chaps,
Bummer about your v/v caps but are you sure they were stolen?
The reason I ask is that I used to have to park on the road and regularly had my mirrors bent back, sandwiches stuck to the windows and chewing gum stuck to the roof!!

I used to dread going for a drive, anyway one day I bought some v/v caps from the local go faster **** emporium and lo and behold the next day they were missing, all except for a strange brass thingy which on one of the v/vs , I figured that the bloody things had just flown off after a fashion so god knows at what speed and what they hit before coming to a rest.

The moral of the story is, if you're going to get some caps,get the ones with the little grub screw or use a bit of threadlock, they'll be harder to nick and won't have someones eye out!

Regards
Dave

Don't know what yo're all worrying about. There's loads of available ones in car parks, residential streets etc etc.
Honest officer I was just tying my shoelace.

I'll just take cover now.
