delocking a ph1 clio

[montana]

after some ned broke into my car last week and messe up my lock and the surrounding metal with a screwdriver, im looking at de-locking it

whats the best way to do this? i thought of maybe using some araldtide to glue a metal plate on the inside of the door then fill and spray..this would be my preferred method becasue i can do it mysoelf without needing to weld etc , or should i get a plate welded in?

what do you all think?

get a plate welded in

 

[rasp]

dont use glue !!!!

GLUe../// why dont you use some blue tack!

Defiantely get a plate welded in mate.

Last thing you want is some wee prick trying to punch through the plate and getting through cause the glue failed.

Best leave them with a few broken knuckles instead lol

cheers cathro , yeah i know what your saying, araldite is strong but not strong enough if someone wants to do what you described



how much should i look at to get it done then?

 

[Clio_Bus]

around £ 120 if you leave in to the pros? ive just had mine done looks wicked! i also take it you got Central locking?
