The S1 uses wheel bolts. I have 2 spanking new hubs here with studs fitted for the front. I just need to sort the rears out then fit them all.

Christian and Beccy (user name) was selling the kits in the traders section...

i have done this all it involves is drilling out the original tapped holes to the same size as the fiesta style hubs then drive in the studs its easiest if you have access to a good pillar/pedistal drill and remove the hubs from the car, i did it coz the disc retaining screws always snap off and trying to put the wheels on in the dark is a nightmare too
