:cussingThis is just a whinge:cussing--
Some thievin little twat stole TWO of the dust caps of my farkin wheels ---I am not happy Jan---I can tell you---they were the chrome bullet shaped ones about the size of a 303 round , they came with the car , not my personal favourites but I'd come to like them for thier trashy flashy sorta look and they fitted in with the gloss black enamel empi wide fives on the car.
Haveing gone in search of just ordinary chrome caps a while ago and come up empty I'm a little bit pessamistic about finding these attall--anyone know where I can get them from ????
Oh just in the unlikely event the thievin mongrel has slimed into this site and reads this and has been silly enough to put these on his /her car ---I have a wonderfull hand held spring loaded centrepunch that repairs windscreens beautifully and guess what ? you are booked for a free demonstration 馃憤

I have a bunch of them at my place that my boys bought for their push bikes when they were kids.I think they got them at Silly Sollys or somewhere like that.

Sounds like the little thieving mongrels that kept trying to steal them off my car. I could park my car all day and no one would touch it. Five minutes outside the school to pick up the kids and they were gone. Haven't been able to find decent replacements since.

two missing = push bike not another car.
have a look on the samba in classifieds then in accessories for a business called 50stuff
this bloke has it all dustcaps,tail lights,blinkers,stickers,numberplate caps, heaps of stuff.

I had a similar experience with some school kids a few years back.
The day before I had put my new dice dustcaps on the bug....then this happened...
I was parked under a block of very upmarket units here in Byron..
Looked back at my bug while walking up the stairs (parked across from the stairs about 5 feet away) & looked at my dice cap dust caps...
Went up the stairs & knocked on my girlfriends door...she wasn't home so I went back down the stairs...
as I got to the bottom saw some school kids quickly walking away from my bug.
I looked at the car & realized my dice caps weren't there....
Said to the young kids..
"Guys you have 2 mins to put back on that car what you just stole from it"...
First they denyed it....
Then I said "Byron is a small place & everyone knows everyone...I'm not gonna ring the cops...instead I will organize to get the shit bashed out of you & you can explain to your parents why you ended up in the hospital when they ask why".....
They turned around & put them all back on the car.....
God was I pissed off...

hehhe good one J
when i was living just outside of ballina i parked my bug outside for just one night when i came out the next the morning some pricks had pinched the new ALtezza style tail lights i got a few weeks earlier
so i know it was another vw owner, altho i didnt think to look for them on ebay

oh Alan i forgot to mention there is an absolute plethora of dustcaps on ebay
alot of them are locking ones to
i got some pretty blue ones that are hex shaped and do up really tight with a small spanner on my keyring so they cant be pinched
thses ones look like they have an allen key grub screw

Bad luck Alan,
I have some of those points looking dust caps..
I think I bought them from BIG W a while back...
I also have some hexagon alloy caps that You can do up tight so fingers can't take them off..
I also have stainless steel valve covers that the caps hold on..
but I'm looking at those lockable valve caps above on ebay..
Someone in Oz probably stocks them as well i would think.
