Money may not buy you happiness but I’d rather cry in a Jag than a bus. (or a 458)

Ever so easy, but you have to remove the wheel and poke the cap out from the back. Others have said it's possible to use a suction device to pull it out from the front, but I never had much luck with that method - the caps can be quite a tight fit.
My wheel refurbisher actually did it right without me asking!
Oh, and for completeness, I recently came across the suggestion that the locking nut should be symmetrically placed too, on my wheel that's under the growler's chin, but your holes are in a different orientation so should be above the growler's head. I found only one of mine wasn't already "right", so that was a really easy fix!

The easiest way I find to remove and reposition the wheel centre caps (without the need to remove the wheels) is to use a plastic credit card, thin clean plastic filler spreader or something similar. This will slide under the edge of the wheel centre cap at some point and just pops the cap off without any damage.

Fine if that method works for you, but my caps are too tight a fit - it took quite some effort to punch 'em out from the back!RPSN wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 4:05 pmThe easiest way I find to remove and reposition the wheel centre caps (without the need to remove the wheels) is to use a plastic credit card, thin clean plastic filler spreader or something similar.

My wheel centre caps/badges are also a tight fit but using the technique I have mentioned works a treat........much easier than removing the road wheels etc!
Plastic filler spreader with thin bottom edge works best!
As this is going off track from the OP I have created the new topic entitled “Jaguar wheel centre caps/badges – easy removal and repositioning”.

Just got it back . Another Ftype had arrived for a wheel change from silver to black. Apparently the owner saw mine and has now gone away to have a think. The lacquer is high gloss which doesn't come through on the photos.
