Great choice.

Lower suspension, slightly lower profile and a set of flat caps and you'll be holding the keys to one sexy coupe. That £80 will be the best ever spent when you see the difference flatties make. DO IT!

Nice to know I'm not alone out there Tarka. As soon as I saw the Type A's on the 90 at the Dustoff I thought, huh, flat center caps. Forgot they ever made them for the Borbet's. A definate improvement over the lug center or no center. I had to show GAZ.

Nice job though you need to make sure they sit flush with the mounting face . Look forward to seeing the pics of them fitted..
