Hi there joking aside I do have a fibre glass back wheel cover (but would never use it also I did not make it .If any one wants it it`s yours for the price of the postage )(PS not worth the price of the postage) Photo to follow but don't get excited its the worst I seen

Looks as though they were a brave attempt at replicating the original Sinclair items...but just didn't quite get there

I think these wheel trims are probably from when Mark (previous owner c5alive) experimented with re-creating the front wheel shrouds in fibreglass.

Although they didn't quite work out , it was a good attempt.

Fezza was considering attempting something similar.

tbh, it will be very tricky to reproduce them to the point they will really look like the originals. look at the center caps fo example, they have had good alternatives made, but 1st thing people say is "they don't look like the original".

so unless desperate to stay bog standard, then i'd suggest if you wnted trims to do as some others have and modify car wheel covers.

really excellent examples have been shown on here which do the job exceptionally well imo.

but then the wheels themselves with the thin stip and sokes look sprty anyway
