Plate pie wheel covers

[Tomtit]

I have just replaced the plate pie wheel covers with different covers. Before and after images attached. I think it is a big improvement.

Well done Richard, that is a vast improvement 👏 👍

I bought them on e-bay and they came from U.S.A. They are worth the money, especially as my wife has agreed to pay for them!

That's what I call win win mate! 👍

Looking good …can you get the Lexus logo’s off the old trims ?

Bob.

I thought about it at the time but I was in a rush to fit the new covers. I have now removed the Lexus logos by drilling out 4 plastic rivets on each cover. Some of the chrome had already peeled off so i will try to find some suitable chrome spray paint for plastic to refurbish them. I will post the results.

 Very nice! Huge improvement in my opinion.

I have finally fitted the Lexus logos from the plate pie wheel covers onto the new covers. The chrome had started to peel off the logos and I bought some chrome spray paint to refurbish them. I then thought that the chrome would blend into the silver of the wheel covers and would not stand out. I sprayed the logos gloss black instead. I think they look OK. Pictures attached.

If not you can get these off eBay around £20 but that was 3yrs ago so probably £200 now 😃
