    I live in town (the IFSC) and I need new hubcaps for a 2007 Ford Focus. Any idea where I'd pick some up AND get them to put them on for me? Am new to driving in Dublin, so I'd prefer somewhere driving towards Ballybough/Fairview/Clontarf area, than I would into the heart of city itself. Ta.

    Do you mean normal wheel trims? Unless there's something different about ones for teh Focus, they're dead easy to put on - just click them in; there's really no need to get anyone to do it for you.

    There used to be a motor factors in the ILAC centre which would be a short walk from the IFSC, but I'm not sure if they're still there.

    Check out this website for wheel trims.

    http://www.wheeltrims.eu/wheel-trims-for-ford.html?SID=2d6a22ca28a1dbd6469dbbd6dcbf2757

    I've bought 2 sets off them and they've all been great.

    Not sure what I mean. Are they called wheel trims here? We call them hub caps in the States. Yeah, its the big circular, round-y yoke that pops on and pops off. I hurt my hand the last time I had to take old ones off a car, and put new ones on. The old ones did not want to come off. Would prefer someone to do it for me.

    Go to a main dealer, anything else is going to look rubbish. Canavan Ford on East Wall road is your nearest dealer.

    As above, main dealer or the website mentioned above. anything else will look rubbish. If you look at the end of your wheelbrace, there is a tool for wedging out the wheeltrim.
