Guys. One of the hub caps (13 inch) of my car was lost and I tried to find it around my area ( Gampaha and Yakkala) but couldn't find one even close to the look of the original thing. Hoping to visit Panchikawaththa tomorrow during office time so If you know a place to look for please do post here. The thing with the one I lost is I have never seen it on other cars. eBay has it but the prices are outrageous.

Below is a picture of a hub cap I'm looking for. :)

Try cap/cup raja in panchi. Darley road, actually. A little past st Joseph's entrance, towards maradana, there's a small road to your right. At the very beginning of the row of shops. Down that road, second or third shop is cap raja. Ask him.

Keep an eye open for them in the scrap shops. I have seen quite a few cups hanging out side their places.

And try not to take your car there. Just take a sample hub cap with you. The three hub caps on the car might go missing while you are on the look out for just this one.

The search wasn't successful. Swept the entire panchi area to no avail. Komi, I went to Cup Raja's (also known as Metro Raja :) ) shop but he didn't have the one I was searching for.

There is a guy at Peliyagoda opposite the Buddha statue just passing the bridge from Thotalanga.

Once I got center cup for my alloys. He is doing only the rims and cups. Just try.

Thank you guys. I found a used one (in fact 2 of them, they were 5 years older than my car ) that was somewhat similar to the original one from panchi. They had a pair and I bought them so I could replace both without looking different from each other (left side)
Here is a picture of one of them fitted to the car.

25 years old and just scratches. :) The whitish area on the right side is actually due to lighting conditions and the dynamic range of the camera.

Will this Cap Raja have my KE72's wheel caps? Having multiples never hurt so I pick them up whenever possible.

Most probably yes machan, unless your one is a rare design like mine was. :-)

Apply sandpaper treatment and do a spray; it will look like new. But the paint may get discoloured after few years.

Yep, gave it a sandpaper treatment ( pic was taken before that) hoping to do a spray later on, but it turned out Okish. So stopped from there. :)

NRX, did you get it from that peliyagoda place that was suggested?

I'm in the look for 2 Nissan rim cups too like below... Im replacing because I have a few scratch marks on 2 of them... Will this cup rajaya or other place have new one's or one's without any scratch marks?

I have seen my sorta rim cups in only presea's and pulsars...

And also are there any places where Nissan mud flaps will be available?

This one looks familiar to the eyes, should be available in usual joints. I bought mine from Panchikawaththa. Sweep across both sides of the road and take a print out of the actual wheel with you :) Try darley road as well.
