Can I get replacement for stolen "bit" of my Mitsubishi Colt?
Anyone know a) what they're called and b)can I easily get a replacement - i.e. are they standard?
Thanks. And before any bright spark says get a new car this one still goes like a bomb after 135,000 miles and has never once let me down.
Answers:
Its called a wheel centre cap (or sometimes a hubcap).
You might find them difficult to replace.
If the wheels are a Mitsubishi standard or optional fitment, then your local dealer might be able to provide a replacement, but it may be a discontinued part. The easiest way to check would be to take one off from one of the other wheels, and call a dealer with the part number on the back of the part.
If the wheels were an aftermarket fitment, then you'll need to find out the make of the wheels, and find a dealer for that make of wheels.
Otherwise, trawl the local breaker's yards (scrap yards) to see if you can spot another one.
ebay
or find a part.com

I had a G reg colt it was ace until my partner killed it.
They are called hubs and you should be able to find one from a breaker - see yellow pages under vehicle breakers and dismantlers
or a mitsubishi dealer will be able to get you one for an arm and a leg. They are not terribly important however as you should have locking wheel nuts, so the hub is mainly cosmetic and as long as you stop the nuts from rusting you can live without it.
