Success!!

Got them off... or rather my Dad did

Turns out there was only one hole, inserting anything didn't find any holes underneath... looks like a tool was needed to tighten the outer part onto an inner part to then engage the thread to unscrew... I think.

Basically, was impossible to do this without a tool as such, so my Dad 'squashed' the outer part with a mole grip enough to be able to grip the inner part and unscrew the whole lot.

Plastic standard dust caps going on now!!!

good for you, it doesn't need a Porsche crest wherever available space may lie regardless of what ebay sellers think.
