First of all, I was having a conversation with a mate of mine about how his wiper blades had been nicked the other day from his car right outside his house, and today I get out of work to find that one of the center caps of my alloy wheel have been nicked. The jinx was that I said that I have had nothing taken from my car before, so its **** law that its gonna happen to me :D

Now i'm pretty sure its been stolen because I came out at lunch to my car, and i'm 95% sure it was still there, and when I come out of work it had gone (def would have picked up on that because of where I was parked).

To show you what I mean:

The centre cap is missing, and they take a fair bit of force to get them off. Nevermind eh? Next thing that concerns me is that will Ford sell the centre caps as a spare so that I don't have to replace the entire alloy itself? Just gets my back up thats all, or if anybody has any ideas of where I could get a replacement that would be appreciated ;)

you can get the cap by it self but it will be a lot cheaper on ebay.
Cheers guys, forgot to mention already checked the bay with no luck, although I have mailed a guy who has managed to roll an ST onto its roof so ts selling as scrap for nearly 5k to see if he is interested, will also give Ford a ring later, although i'm expecting it to be steep :(
 
In fact £13.21, just gave them a call now, a LOT better than I was expecting tbh, but still quite annoyed at the fact that the car is mine, I wouldn't dream of taking somebody elses if I had one missing :(
