    GU ST factory alloys missing centre caps

    G'day all,
    I've just bought a GUIII ST which is missing all centre caps, I've noticed that a lot around seem to be the same - Do they have a habit of falling off?
    I wouldn't mind getting some new ones but not too keen if they'll just fall off again.

    Not sure about the GU's but the GQ's would struggle to fall off "generally" but they can pop off at some stage.

    A lot of my friends GU caps have been stolen over time and he refuses to buy any more.

    Very easy to pinch, twist and pull...Done!

    ^^^ what he said mate^^^

    Twist and pull. 2 seconds and its over.

    I reckon they look great but really easy to steel. If some arrrse has lost his then he knows how easy they are to take in a carpark somewhere. he could nearlly do it with you sitting in the car and you would not know.

    Look on ebay mate, i picked some up for my GU for $30 the pair for the back and dont run anything on the front, dont see the point.Had them on for 18months and not lots them yet.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    I just missed out on a set on ebay after being tipped off on a set... Bugger!
    It just looks a bit crappy without them - especially the rears. Hopefully another set pop up soon.

    I've got centre caps on mine and intend on swapping the wheels and tyres in a month or two - if you can wait there yours (tyres and wheels spoken for however!).
