Just put my new wheels on and in car park at tesocs someone nicked one of the silver valve caps and left a nice chip in my boot :angry:

 

can you get rid of a chip without respraying the whole panel? and it is def not t-cuttable etc, will need painting

 

also, i was thinking about getting anti theft valve caps, anyone got these? do they work and are there good and bad ones or are they all the same? ta!

i got some from halfords at the start of the year. havent had them knicked so far. though i forgot to take them off when i had my wheels refurbed :p

 

They were the kind with the outside that just spins when you undo them without the adapter

i think bling/anti theft valve caps are a complete waste of time, i mean c'mon when was the last time you were looking at someone elses car and thought "wow look at the valve caps on that, they really make the car" :rlol:, just stick black plastic ones on then no one gets upset when a kid inevitably nicks your bling caps for his BMX

bit peeved as my car came with some Blitz valve caps to match the blitz wheels.

Had 2 new tyres fitted to the rear, and the garage never replaced the caps with the Blitz ones afterwards :(

 

But yeh - totally agree with Paul Mac above, and I'm just trying to find my other 2 normal caps to put on the front... I know I've got some somewhere....

I just go round the neighbourhood nicking them off kids bikes when I realise they've got better ones than me, I bet there's a BMX forum somewhere with kids on complaining about exactly the same problem :D

 

Lol..

be carefull with anti theft caps if you have metal type bolt in valves, I once came out to a flat tyre because some scum kid had tried to remove the cap, but what happened was the whole valve unscrewed, so now I have these
