So, ive just received these in the post,

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/JAGUAR-HUB-CAPS-SET-FOR-...

and went straight to the garage to fit them up on the Kents, can anyone tell me the best way of securing these. I have put them on with the supplied clips but they dont seem too secure and they rattle around much to my annoyance. i am thinking of taking the wheels off to see if i can manipulate the clips behind the wheels......................any experiences of these or how to secure?

cheers
Darren

Got a picture of the back of them with the clips in just to see if youve got the right retainning clips?....

tried fixing with the wheel off so i could "pull through" but still not holding. I have glued it to the wheel now and will see if that holds, as a back up i was going to insert the bracket and silicone it in!!

why is nowt so simple???

If the retainning clip is not holding in to the centre cap get a hot air gun and worm up the badge from the back and remove the jag badge then mig weld clip into the back of cap,refit badge.Now if its the clip not holding in to the rim youve just got to bend the 3 hooks out,mine still spin round a bit and are not that tight either.......My retaining clips are the same as yours..........

All secure now, with a bit of help from Evostik.....i,ll worry about removing them when i next change the tyres!! Cruised her out today up to about 90 and they were all still on when i stopped.

MPH, i think you may be able to get Daimler badged ones from the same place??
