hmmm...

when i bought my terc (i was a mere 12yrs. old, over 5 years ago)
it came with these caps. i did not throw them away, i believe that i packed them in my storage shed or they are in the back of the Mazda.

i MAY be able to find them, hoping my dad/mom did not throw them away when cleaning out the shed.

thanks Mr Bread,

were your wheels white? or silver? I guess I'm after the silver one to fit in. It's no biggy but would be nice that's all. if you get the chance can you find out how much it costs to send and I will send you some cash straight away.

kind regards,
Matt

OK - what is a "...malty spoke design wheel?"
I know you guys like beer, but I presume "malty" is not a reference to a brewski?
You guys have different adjectives than us...

Yep Jamie, there thats the one I was after, I actually saw a Doppleganger Terc of mine parked around the corner in Melbourne that had the only 1 centre cap and 3 missing, but I felt like an idiot asking the owner if he wanted to sell it.

It would be great if you had a spare one, if you could PM me and I'll send you down a self addressed letter or some sort of arrangement.
cheers,
