Angry Locking wheel nut covers

One of these has dropped off my car, I'm now left with a rusty locking wheel nut without a cap. Anyone know where I can order some from, my local dealer says he can't get them as my car is a Jap import!

Asked more or less the same question about a year ago. Best advice offered was to go an nick one late at night from the local dealer's forecourt. Seriously!!!

If its just one of the thin tinny things you want, PM me your address and I'll mail you one. Just changed mine for new macguard ones.

I think graham must be busy, I sent him a PM but no reply. Anyone else know where I can get the locking wheel nut covers from.

Tried another dealer yesterday but the same reply "we can't supply parts for an import, sir"

Grrrrrrr, anyone would think I was asking to bed their first born daughter rather than spend money with them. Any non-scooby garages that sell these? I'm getting desperate.

Getting desperate now, can anyone point me in the right direction please? I'm quite willing to buy them but as I said before dealers won't even talk to me as I've got the "wrong sort" of Impreza whatever that's supposed to mean.

Stupid IM, missing out on revenue from a lot of owners with that attitude.
