I have just aquired this Fiesta off my daughter and some of the caps on the wheel nuts are missing and I need some advice for replacement and the best place to get them. I believe if I wanted to replace the whole wheel nut with a chrome version I would have to mortgage the house.
Thanks |

Look for a quality set of after market ones on eBay. Did this for my focus. The OEM ones are rubbish.

Supercheap, about $64 for a full set in chrome.
( if this is your mortgage payment, I'm jealous LOL) You are right the OEM with the stupid caps are rubbish |

Can someone please tell me how to remove these caps. I've tried multi grips ,pliers and vice grips with no luck.there must be a trick to it before the angle grinder comes out.
Thanks |

I'm pretty sure the factory wheel brace fits the nuts with the covers on the nuts. If the cover is removed you have to get different sized socket.
Fister Experts - please let me know if I'm in error. I replaced mine because the covers were just stupid.

Thanks for the replies, I got hold of a socket set and that worked, I'm replacing with normal type wheel nuts. It's my wife's car and I don't want her stranded trying to change a wheel.
