Interesting about the locking wheel nuts, maybe they aren't fitted at the factory?

The A1's sitting on their discs might have squashed eggsauces too.

If you know what you're doing locking wheel nuts are only a minor inconvenience. I won't go into detail but I've had to deal with knackered locking nuts on a pug and Toyota now and tbh it didn't take long

Usually the locking wheel nuts/bolts are fitted on the PDI when the vehicle is sold.
