Hi Guys,
Can someone post the link that showed how to put a very discrete locking system on the centre caps please.
I recall seeing it, but have searched and cannot find the write-up on how to do this.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Both!!! I was bored at the weekend and think this is a great idea, so wanted to see the process again and see which bits I needed to buy.

That's an awesome mod! If I switch to 15 BBS I will do this, no one steals the 14s. Touch wood...

it certainly provides peace of mind. Too many light fingered people out there not to do this. I think the author mentions caps selling for £35 each - just goes to illustrate how old the write up is!
Without this mod, the alternative is to remove the caps when parked up, every time, which is a PITA.
Bit's ordered - total cost £5.90!

Whats the point, mine did 1000 miles and they weren't stolen, you have more chance of them falling off as the clips have failed or someone stealing the whole car.

That's something to consider as you do live in the Badlands of Shepherd's Bush!

Talking to you I’m surprised to learn you went through any educational institution other than correctional.
However, hope you don’t get stabbed.

Hahaha. My parents never owned a cornershop. However, yours came over and started sending their benefits back to Poland so you could come over.
No, and no. Actually, my centre caps look totally different.

The benefits system wasn't in place when my Mum came and joined the RAF/PAF during the war, my Father in the Merchant Navy, I think he did help smuggle your Father from Casablanca to Glasgow in the past so you owe me a beer fridge at least I do need to apologise as my Fathers English wasn't very good then as I think your Father said Goa.......

Don’t lie. Your dad was a plumber and he wasn’t your dad.

Unsure if this has got out of hand or is still humour
