Surprised nobody thought of it before, bolt caps alla VW Golf, quick fix for bolt heads not looking their best:

I'm sure I read something recently, asking were such things available - well they are now:thumbs:

Hi Neil

That was me asking - might give these a punt...can't weigh much!

Some of us V-Dubbers have Neil :smokin: few years ago ;)
VW part number: 321 601 173 A and they are pennies, even from VW main stealer :thumbs:

Much nicer Matt, than rusty bolt heads, I've got a box full somewhere left over from my Golf'ing days, put away in a safe place wherever that may be :whistle:

I bought a set of chrome ones a while ago but they're mega long and need hacksawing shorter and not sure i can't be arsed when there's a VW dealer round the corner from me.

Black looks better, maybe...

Nut caps are extra weight.
Best option is to remove the rust with sandpaper and spray the original nuts.

I did a set 4 years ago and they are still holding good even though we have so much salt here ;)

My bolts aren't rusty (the opposite in fact) as I'm running newish extended length bolts with the H&R spacers all round, which are way too shine for my liking :wink:

Have bit the bullet and invested in a set for £9.99
Will post up some before and after pics.

If the consensus is poor, I will move them to my parts bin (it's smaller than Shimmy's)

I reckon chemi blacking is way to go if you want to keep your nuts looking good :119:

Fitted the 9.99 ebay caps today.
