Hi just wondering anyone has tried removing the plastic inserts on the Fairmont wheels?
I just like a change and wasn’t sure if anyone has tried it before. I think they only clip in on the centre of the wheels

Remove the wheel from the car, then use the butt end of a hammer or a round object as close to the diameter of the cap & punch it out (outwards).

Be aware though that over time & repeated heat cycles the tabs on the centre cap become brittle & are easily snapped.

If you have all four then I'd leave "well enough" alone. Damage one cap & you may struggle to find good replacements.
