Lost another hubcap!

I've lost another of those little plastic silver hub cap things and are now down to my last one - so I need some advice and suggestions.
Do these serve some purpose?
I see there's a lot of dust underneath them, so probably isn't dust protection?
I'm thinking of not even bothering to look for replacements (will probably cost an arm and a leg) if it'll be OK.
If I really shouldn't go without does anyone know about a generic one?

Chris,

Their only purpose is to look nice = cosmetic.

The stealers quoted me R 800 each for new ones, and I managed to find second hand ones for R80 through gumtree.

Note that the Colts used the same caps for some time - and there are more of them around than Pajeros - so you'll probably find them off a Colt easier.

One of the members recently purchased a new set via e-Bay from USA, and got them for a reasonable price. https://www.pajeroclub.co.za/forum/view ... +hub#p9514 Maybe they are still available?

It is shocking to think that you can immport four for the 75% of the price of one from the stealers!
