As delivery of my D3 nears, my dealer has sent me a catalog of available accessories. Among them there is a a wheel cap that replaces the standard caps on all wheels. It says something to the effect of "silver central cap" (the catalog is in Spanish). Its an esthetic element, but from the picture I can´t really tell the difference from the standard caps.
Do any of you know what I am talkign about?
Thanks! JL Martin

Yes, this part is available in the UK, it is referred to as "centre cap, sparkle silver", part RRJ000010MNH. It is referred to on page 11 of the accessories brochure. The cost of each item in the UK is £6.86 (approx 10 euro). I have not seen one, but for the price, LR are not going to give you anything spectacular. *Disco3 7-seat Auto

Thanks, Tony.
I suppose then that it is not worth checking it out then. They are already getting enough money from me....

The centre cap is just the plastic badge which fits in the centre of the wheels.
As far as I know there's no 'upgrade' on these available for the D3, so I presume the part is listed because if you order accessory fit 19" wheels (for example) you also need 4x centre caps.

or you need to replace as the brake dust and dirt gets under the glossy plastic coating and looks really bad
