Everyday use is either black plastic or plain metal chrome ones. Just becareful some of the cheapy metal ones can get stuck on the stem.

I committed a cardinal one last week while replacing the front clears corners... I put some crazy glue top contact point where it slides into the slot on the side of the headlight. It's easy to get to if I ever need to break the seal, but it's not going to pop out any time soon. Also, good luck trying to steal them. __________________ 1997 332ti - Don't even ask. 2006 330i - ZPP/ZSP/ZCW/6sp/Nav/BT/H&R Sport 2011 E92 M3 | | | 06-15-2007, 02:27 AM | #21 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | Quote: Originally Posted by ATF I'm waiting for the day my side markers get jacked, since all you have to do is slide them forward and they pop out.. | Or your side skirts.

Plain valve stem caps = $1.99 BMW valve stem caps = $16.99 To catch the person in the act of defiling your vehicle = priceless. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
