[John Badger]

Hi Pete, maybe then they were only fitted to export cars - I'll have to check that out. Watch this space!!

Hi John, Sorry but I have a MK111 Alpine sales brochure showing the slotted wheel trims. Artistic license????        Pete

OK Mal, nothing's as good as the originals of course.
Forgive me if I'm teaching granny to suck eggs, but these trims were never fitted to Alpines, only MK3 saloons and coupes.
Cheers,
John

Hi John thanks for email,I have a problem were as I promised my set to a friend to give to his uncle who has a MK3 Talbot,this man has a set of the polished Aluminium ones, prefers the original Chrome trims, I have had my set for a couple of years,after cleaning a viewing them I want them for my Alpine, so I feel obliged to try and locate some originals for him, there were a set on UK Sunbeam ebay last week or 2 weeks ago, they seemed to be dismantling a MK3 Talbot and had a lot of parts, including the dress rims, of course that auction has finished,dont know if they sold,if anyone knows, of that ebay listing I would apprieciate any imformation or contact email, thanks again Mal Clark.

Hi Mal,
Check out A.M.Classical.Car Accessories on e-bay. I bought a brand new set from them a few years ago and they are fine. They are polished aluminium and only cost £35 for the set including shipping.
Cheers,
John Badger

Hi everyone,is there anyone out their that may have or know where I can get 4 or 5 of the Mk3 only slotted dress rims,these fit over where the holes are in the wheels held on by bend back clips through 4 of the holes in the wheels,
   these dress rims are not the solid chrome pieces that fit on near the outside of the wheel,as said they were only fitted to MK3 Talbots and Alpines, many thanks Mal Clark.
