ESPUMA LIMPIALLANTAS

pintadas y plásticas.
Dolores Orta
English translation:alloy hubcaps
Explanation:
Dolores, it seems that you've bitten off more than you can (or want to) chew (because you are perfectly bilingual).
I think that asking more than thirty questions in a row is abusive.
Maybe this "tazas" is tricky; most of the others are easily found in any dictionary.
Regards,

Patricia

agree  Ian Ferguson: Eurodicautom gives "taza de émbolo" as "brake piston cup", which seems to fit the context.

neutral  Patricia Lutteral: Por el contexto parecen las tapas plásticas o metálicas de las ruedas (creo que es un argentinismo, not sure)
