Wheel trims

One of the wheel trims has fallen off of my car somewhere, which obviously means that I have to buy a new set of 4 in order to ensure that they match. It's a 1997 Vauxhall Corsa which I believe has a 13" wheel. With it being 10 years old, it's practically worthless and as such I'm not bothered about having Vauxhall wheel trims, I just don't want it to look as ugly as it does presently with one wheel trim off.

So guys, where's the cheapest place to get a set of 4 generic wheel trims? I'm in Dunfermline. There's a "Mister Motor" type place in town, somewhere like that? Or online? Or somewhere else?

Really looking for advice as I have no idea where to start with this one and need to do this as cheaply as possible; I'm skint as this month!

Cheers

Rich

    scrap yards, might have the one you're looking for or alternatively a cheap set of 4.
  • When wheel trims tend to fall off, people find them and leave them at the side of the road.
  • Try The Knockhill road - I see loads lying in the ditches!

    If not try one of the breakers yards (Inverkeithing - perhaps)
    I am NOT a Woman! - its Overland Landy (as in A Landrover that travels Overland):rolleyes:

    Better to be approximately right than precisely wrong.

    Good thinking about just buying 2. Any recommendations for a cheap set?

    I think Steel wheels look better than plastic trims, so why not remove the other 3?
