How many wheel nuts?

Unread post by Xaccers »

I was searching for Xantias used by the police and found this one:

Now I know I'm ill at the moment, but tell me I'm not seeing things and there are 5 wheel nuts?

Sorry to hear you're ill Xac :( Nothing serious I trust?

That Xantia might have XM hubs perhaps?

I thought it said "POLITE" on the side of it :roll: A nice thought that, polite police :)

Get well Soon! How's the Activa going?

Pop round on Sunday. Val might even do you a bacon roll :wink:

Nasty stomach bug, got a temperature too, was so bad I had to take the day off which being a contracter doesn't help!

Jules is good, need to get under and lube her height correctors, and sort out the window.

Of course the "wheels" my be hubcaps, I may be mistaken but is there a chunk out of the rear one?

I noticed that too, and the blue stripes look like they go over the indicators.
Maybe it's a photoshop.

Just noticed that.

Also take a look at the front wheel, you can see the hub caps protruding slightly

I gave some thought to fitting XM hubs. It wouldn't be too hard on the rear, but fronts might be a mix'n'match challenge.

The main benefit ultimately? Fitting C6 alloys. :twisted: But I may have a Barryboy turn and swap the Exclusive rims for Mi16 wheels at some point instead.
