I know this is going to sound a really stupid question, but whats the best way to remove the plastic seat centre caps from my alloy wheels without damaging them?

Ive got an 04 cupra 1m so it's got the 5 spoke alloys. They're mint like new and don't want to gouge and mark them.

Use a old clothes hanger? Or use a small screwdriver, or just be creative. I didnt have mine when I bought the car. I used the old tool which are delivered when you buy new front shocks (to keep them under pressure)

i didnt have one for about 6 months when i got my leon, then, when i was cleaning out the boot i found it in the bottom of the spare wheel well, at 1st it wasnt obvious wat it was, but then it makes sense once you use it once.

before then i just used a small screwdriver.
