My Fiat Argenta project is going to become a series 2.

For a long time now I've been looking for the final piece of the puzzle, a set of original series 2 wheel trims. A while ago I picked up a pair of NOS inner trims but couldn't find two more or any of the chrome trim rings.

This week I've found some of each. I now have three NOS chrome trim rings and four more NOS inner trims are on their way.

The seller in Italy did have four of the chrome trim rings but had listed them seperately and one had already sold Roll Eyes

So I'm now just one of the chrome trim rings missing.

Here's a picture of my three chrome trim rings with my secondhand inner trim tried out to check out the 'look' Smiley



If anyone knows where there is an extra chrome trim ring.....

Now I have four! Smiley

Same seller. Looks like this one has some small spots of corrosion on it despite also being NOS, but at least when everything arrives I will have a full set of trims at last. Grin

These being made specifically for the series 2 Argenta are held on by the centre trims which in turn are held on by the wheel bolts.

Well, the other two trim rings have arrived safely so I now have everything needed. There are a few spots of rust but it's just typical poor Fiat quality really. Virtually no chrome on the inner part. Not tried them yet but hopefully they'll look good.
