Tire/air valve cap things...

Happy Holidays, everyone!

So, as you might have guessed ... i'm trying to find the little cap thingies that go over the air valves on each tire. I've seen them online (or so i think) but I cant seem to find them no matter how many MINI accessories sites I check. I think they have them in all the typical combo styles (brit flag, MINI logo, checkers...) but i just cant find them. Does anyone know where I can find them online?

Just make sure the ones you get are the plastic ones, check this thread...

Keep in mind the logos will eventually pop off while you are driving...

Thanks for the links! And yes, i found some much cheaper on Ebay after checking there. I dont know why I didn't think to check there before. I'm all about my amazon and ebay!

What do you mean the logos will pop off? You mean lose the whole piece altogether, right? .... If so, i think that's what happened to one of my original ones b/c now there are only 3.

My gal bought me some S caps as a gift and I was at first a little disappointed that they were plastic, but now I see why.
