DS3 centre caps!

[Bensds3]

May just post them... Let me know what you reckon. And also how to remove the buggers

[ZACK]

Yeah The Centrecaps Will Fit Bellones / Asheras,

Are They The Ones That You Need To Take The Wheel Off And Pop Out ?

Surely A Citroen Geek Can Help Us ?

Will probably get em posted. Will need to find out how to get them off first though. May sound like another stupid thing to say but there not actually a functional part of the car? Can drive without em for a while

To get the centre caps off you will need to remove the wheel, then they are popped out by pressure from the rear, you might be able to prise them out from the front but you'll almost certainly damage the caps or the wheel in the process.
You are right, the caps are NOT essential and the car is quite safe to drive without then (assuming that the wheels have been properly replaced). New or replacement caps are simply popped into place with the wheel still fitted (as I did with mine after the wheels were replaced)

As John says above the easiest way to to remove the wheels firsts, use the handle of a large screwdriver to gently thump them out.

gently thump

Is that the technical term?

Is that the technical term?

Yes it is...and of course you have to be fully qualified to be able to apply it properly

[WTF]

Or make your own like this:

Might have some useful photo's though to re removing/replacing.

It's the controlled application of force that distinguishes the dilettante form the engineer.

Which is why I chose the word 'thump' rather than 'whack'!

We use the term 'percussive maintenance' at work when describing in the Engineering log how something had to be hit to clear a fault/effect a repair
