finally after months of waiting, new prodrive centre caps have arrived, ready for NBO !!
got 8 in total, not gonna have the same chew on if they start corroding
anyone got any ideas to make them last longer?
gonna give 4 of them a few coats of poor boys wheel sealant and see if that helps

Yeah mate - rattle cans rule!!
Two or three light coats, let it harden for a couple of weeks and polish fook out of it with a fine compound paste. Redone a bit on the carbon fibre spolier and you cant tell - came up excellent.

if you use a can stand it in some hot water for a bit it will thin it out and get a better coverage
