Have you got the hub nut cover over the axle nut and king pin? if you pry them off you should be able to get the center caps on

i did that when i had my speedlines, wasn't long before i had to change the wheel bearings, they will fit with the covers on, take them off and knock them in abit with a hammer they will fit then

oh i should also mention ive ran my speedlines for the last year and half without them..

keep on running it without them and find out. there was a point when my wheel bearing got louder than my exhaust and i had a straight through exhaust on my redtop. all i'm saying is i'd advice you to keep the covers on but just knock them in abit so the centre cap will fit on, they are on there for a reason

the plate is staying where it is, the rear caps fit on fine its just the fronts dont so i thought it mite look abit odd with the rears on. the boot is also staying how it is because imo they look like a bit of a blank spot when smoothed and just look out of place. vegasPhil who is JB? i have had the car around 2 years now and it was a standard corsa sport when i got it, if that helps.

I really like the look of this but i hate the no. plates and the location of the front plate.

I cant think where it would look better placed though.

Engine bay looks lovely too, id keep the factory box over the viper though. Mine just gave me a huge flatspot at 3.5K revs.

viper is soooooooo much better with a direct cold air feed from the light, airbox was strangling the engine badly. it pulls so much better all the way through the revs.
