Default Wheel centre caps

Anybody know if the 16 inch wheel centre cap is the same as the one on the 17 inch wheel ?

Definitely not for your 2001 as the alloy finish is different. 2002 onwards, the facing edges have a diamond cut finish to them.

yeah right

Diamond cut actually takes away a very fine layer of the alloy to leave a very smooth shiny finsh which of course aids aero dynamics Sorry to say but your Berlina would be left in my dust

I hate to disagree but the guys at Tochigi told me that they rushed the 99, 00 and 01s out of the factory to be in time for a PR launch...now the 02 was the way it was meant to be.

Three years of rushing. My my those Japanese are living up their reputation of efficiency. I think you will find that they created a beast originally and had to soften it because of the litigious society were now living in. Never mind,a beastette's better than nothing
