do u reckon if you reversed really fast all of the wheels would fall off? lol
my god that is ugly
Im glad I'm not the only one it's hidious looks like lepu was on the job lol
Theres a reason you dont see many around at all.... I mean just look at it ffs :S
wiki says they are now made in whitley, coventry...near where the best jags were designed...i'm sad now
Ugly as **** and the wheels don't suit it, but I'd have one. The rear end is a ****ing lot longer than it looks on TV/how I imagined.
The do and undo on the wheels is correct, as they're reverse threaded on one side so they dont come undone as you drive along, same as knock on wheel spinners on classics. It is quite shockingly awful too.

It reminds me of the car Homer designed for his long lost brother on The Simpsons. Does it have 10 cup holders?
Where do you work? is it a golf club?

MK999 I know it's a locking wheel nut it's the use of the word DO, by it's self it means nothing (do what). Do: to perform or execute, it should say something like do-up or fasten or tighten
it is considered good english in coventry, where they are made now.

Dont make me laugh................
Ok mr glum.... Spykers really are made in coventry...

Quite hard to fit "To tighten wheelnut spin this way, to untighten wheelnut spin this way" on them though :p It's been done like that (Do and Undo) for the past 50++ years!
^You're thinking off the E-Type no? They just say Undo and then which side it goes (Right (Off) Side).
Tighten/Loosen would be better but give a ****.

So to be pedantic first of all I posted it as a bit of fun not a discussion point. Second just the word DO on the spinner is bad English and back in the 60's to have improper grammar on your motor car just was not Cricket old chap.

But MK999 if you do find some knock off spinners with the words DO and UNDO on them other than the Spyker ones let me know
Best Regards Phunkynova
