Aluminium hinge fittings?
Monkey metal?

Possibly cut off by the fire brigade. They don't mess about on a car fire and don't care what damage is caused.

Alfa Romeo help needed, following storms Dennis and Ciara!
I came across this advert on eBay:
I came across this advert on eBay:
That's the pretty little GT Junior. Wondered why he didn't buy a new wheel, but a used set is selling for £1000! Can anyone here help him?Due to storm damage, I need an original 6x14 Momo Vega Alloy Wheel, as pictured.
Putting it out there early, whilst repairs to my GTJ are being organised.
Anyone got an odd one lurking about?
Thanks.
