Hi All. Hoping for some help with my daughters 51 plate 1.6 steel wheels. The car car doesnt live with me so harder to see whats what. 1st thing this has trims with 8 holes and bearing what appears to be genuine peugeot logo. They have what are either nut covers or i hope dummy nuts as one is missing but there is a small something about flush with the bottom of the cover. Does the whole trim unclip to reveal real bolts underneath please?
2nd thing couple of the valve stems are poorly positioned. Can trims be fitted in any position, so they just need to be clipped in with valves aligned with cutouts/markings ? If i was there, this would be easy, but fiat do trims that are held on by wheel bots and i want to be able to talk her through without looking a complete prune... many thanks in advance for any help

Re: steel wheels, trims and valve stems
On the inside of the trim should be a cut out for the valve stem (some times with a pictogram of a valve next to it)
Wheel trims should just pull off.
