Finally had the replacement wheel cover plates delivered today, after a strange interaction.
After sending emails to a couple of vendors asking if they had some of these floating around, all bar one came back with a YES.
"Hi …yes we can help ..I have a new 1 and I know where another is!"
Bloody brilliant! I direct deposited the asking price within an hour, along with a tip in appreciation, and was told I would get an email when it was on the way. A week later and I asked if the items had been shipped, the response was
"Not yet …maybe tomorrow!". What?!
Anyway, two weeks later they are now here and ready to fit.
