If you are meaning the wheel center cap?
They sell them at the dealers.
Failing that I just use a hammer and a small punch or long nosed pliers and a lever between them.

If you go to somewhere like ATS (when it's quiet) and ask nicely they'll likely have a set something like ...... http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/5-piece-bolt-grip-set-expansion-set/path/socket-sets-sockets-tool-sets That's how mine were removed! The new locking bolts from Vx are now a 'cake cutter' design.  :y
