      Had no luck with the wheel trims.
      I believe I have a (well-used) set of those wheel trims in my barn from a 213 I scrapped over 10 years ago!

      PM me with a reasonable offer if you would like them

        I am a little confused why you would like a set of the above wheel trims when you only appear to have a Vauxhall Astra to fit them to?

        Or is it just me?

          The wheel trims are very rare now. When I finally buy an SD3 I can just put the wheel trims on, rather than wait a long time for me to find my prefered ones. I could be looking for months and months.

          They suit the SD3 better in my opinion.

            How do you know this car will need wheel trims once it comes along?

            If it's going to need anything, it'll be rear wheel arches. You'd be better spending money on a pair of repair panels! ;-)

                It was always a mystery to me how they cocked up on the durability of this car, when its Triumph Acclaim predecessor was so fantastically good in this respect.
