Valve Stem Caps

I had a nice set on cooper s , don't usually like that sort of thing. Seen these carbon ones, well they say carbon, do you think they are tacky or nice, thank Derek

Gonna go tacky on this one. Had them on my E46 and were knicked within a month. To be honest preferred the BMW the standard caps on the M Sports.

Not sure if its still the case but the M Sports come with the metal valve caps, while the non M Sports come with a standard black rubber...

Saw these before myself. The feedback on them if I remember wasn't that good in that they seem to fade after a short time and there was water ingress on the symbols. Pesronally I think they are a bit tacky for the car.
