eBay - you can get packs of 20 in red, silver or black for about £8. Not original Pug parts of course though.

Are these missing caps all from your locking bolts ? realized a long time ago that they don't clip on and work loose . The best way i have found is to use silicon sealant to hold them on not lost one yet , also when you have a tire change don't let the tire fitter put them back for you do it yourself saves loosing them. :thumbup:

The locking bolts are smaller in some places.
That's why you when you remove the caps, you should leave those apart and not fit any of the other caps because they will have been widened by the regular bolt so you'll definitely lose it! It happened to me many times before I found out.
I finally had my locking bolts replaced with regular because TBH they're more trouble than good because I park my car inside anyways.
The other problem with them is that the head wears out just as the bit that you need to unscrew them and the bolts break more easily (have seen that on another RCZ) and then it's a pain to remove the remainder.

That happened to mine. The dealer broke them, blamed me, and charged me £40 for a new set ! If I had known, I would have just put some ordinary bolts on, or aftermarket locking bolts.

The caps stick out more on the locking nuts, but I haven't lost any so far.......

Mmm just had the same on Mrs K's 308 numpty mechanic wants £50 and the repair can't happen for a week while Peugeot send a new one to undo the wheels. Maybe regular bolts is the answer...
