Yeah, the locking covers are rocking horse shit.  I have some black PLA, maybe I should print some ;D

But does anyone still use lockers on their Omegas?

Had a hell of a job getting one of the lockers off last year so took em all off. Only got Nexens on standard CDX wheels so not worried about wheel security.  :-*

PS4 are £150 a pop, and Sportstars are valuable.  But GM locking bolts are worse than shite, so not worth the effort.

but to replace wheels and tyres would cost time and the fat end of 600 quid so i leave em locked
i could get the GM bolts off without the key too but it slows the knobs down and is a deterant , as are the 2  HD CCTV cameras pointing at it ,the tracker i'm fitting ,etc
self propelled  motorized carriages are rare in these parts  :P

Did a refurb on mine a while ago rub down with very fine wet and dry 2000 grit paint with plastic primer and finished with  silver wheel paint( cos I had some in the shed) looked good as new.However if you can obtain silver paint suitable for plastic i suspect that would be better  :y

Thanks for all the input guys.

I saw the chrome ones but they're not for me personally. I just want stock original. Sad I know  ;D

I think these are the right ones...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20pc-17mm-Wheel-Nut-Cover-Bolt-Cap-For-Vauxhall-Opel-Romove-Tool-Key-Gray/152703145777?fits=Car+Make%3AVauxhall&hash=item238dd11731:g:GUUAAOSw4kVZujte

I fitted these ,albeit the chrome ones .
Put a little grease inside them prior to fitting so that they slide off easily when needed .
And don't lose the removal tool ........ ::)
