I seem to have lost the cap for my locking wheel nuts on my S2 Exige does anyone know if they are unique or will the cap from other S2 Exiges or Elises fit (thinking there may be just a few variations maybe).
failing that I have Dave's magic spanner set which will strip them off.

If you are willing to travel you can try mine and Jinty's........is the car back from SW?

No they cant fit the rear wishbone without getting the wheel off so I will take Dave's device over tomorrow - thanks everyone for offering the caps.

can't rememer how many different ones they have but its a few - unlucky mate - take them off and ditch them - they are sh*t.
I had my locking nut key split on me, that was a f***ing nightmare!
