Chrome Cover for the locking Nut?
Has anyone ever managed to get a chrome cap for the locking nut on a 19" 2015 Tekna wheel. It's seems pretty simple to replace the black covers on the 4 other bolts, but not had any luck finding something that fits the lock nut?Ian

Hi Ian, take a look at "Chassis, Wheels & Tyres" / Locking Wheel Nuts on Tekna". This was a Topic based on Nuts and there was a website but only for Black but this might help you - Take a look Dave
I know you can get them as we had these on our Audi A6 Avant, these were Silver but Chrome is another question ?
Here was the comment & information :
"It helps indeed, thank you. My Tekna came with black wheel nut covers, so the locking wheel nut (silver) is more visible when used.
I did some research and most of the nut caps sold on internet are 17mm or 19mm diameter,which is not enough.
However I was able to find one cap designed especially for Skoda locking nuts. I have asked the supplier and he said that diameter is 22mm.
Not sure whether it will fit".

Peter, this "Gizmo" was part of the Audi Kit, it was basically a springy piece of plastic with a couple of protruding teeth that dropped behind the Cap Edge and you just applied pressure and pulled it off. Now regarding the QQ I would assume it is a similiar piece of gear but I am unsure as the Dealer now does all our Wheel Changes. It is a good point and needs to be questioned - Sorry Dave

This is a type I bought years ago, fitted my previous Skoda and should be ok with the QQ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Peugeot-Citro ... 417eb8f565

Jon, that looks like a "Must" for the Toolbox especially if you have a puncture and it is a DIY Job. I checked the QQ there is nothing and I must admit I never even thought of this in an emergency case, looks like I will have to dig deep again into my pocket - Dave
