Those Matthew on the gold one are the european equivalent arent they? The base spec ones....
What always puzzled me was the original french press photo cars tended to be V6 models so would presumably wear alloys, but instead wore these disc style trims
Personally i cant get enough of them...I think they suit the design of the car to a T
Im also a huge fan of the CX,GS Pallas chrome trims...simple design which compliments the car design perfectly
The other style of wheel trims I illustrated were used on European 'peasant' spec cars Vince, which we did not get in the UK, while the UK trims were also used abroad for higher spec models. The gold car shown has no spoiler as you will note and there were numerous other interior omissions like the central armrest/ storage compartment. Regards, Matthew T.

Hi I put alloys on mine so I have a set of trims they are not the best but I think they could clean/ repair quite easily I also have the four wheels and tyres one of the tyres is a different size but was used as the spare if you want them you can have them for free just collect from chester cheshire if you are interested my mobile is 07974 357798
Regards john
John, if ekjdm14 doesn't want these then can I have second dibs? Keen to get mine back onto steels and the right wheel trims.

Just noticed all the replies here lol Thank you for the kind offer, and not a million miles away from us either but with time pressures at the moment sadly I don't think a trip even to Chester from Congleton is on the cards for us even though it's close by shame really as we do have a couple of tyres right on the borderline too so spare wheels would be a big bonus. If you could send just the trims by courier I think hermes would cost less than a tenner and I'd be quite happy to pay that plus chuck you some beer tokens for your trouble. If not then I'm sure Rob can make good use of them. Thanks again.
