luckily there doesnt appear to be any paintwork damage. i think they might have used there hands to get the off rather than a scredriver or key.

the left side plastic thing seems a tiny bit loose but the right is fine.

are these things that easy to get off. i had a thought about supergluing the new ones on but thought if i do that they will damage the car trying to get them off.

Sorry to hear that mate! Just makes u mad!

I was home late last night so parked the 5gtt in the front drive to save moving the cars about and waking the neighbours up for a the 1st time ever (wasnt even in the road) and woke up this morning.. tyres let down and all metal valve caps knicked off all the tyres! TBH I'm just grateful they didnt do any real damage. My mistake for thinking just one night out there would be ok.

Next door neighbour had his garden furnature nicked a few weeks ago in the middle of the night!?!

Buy some replacements but also a set of 1.2 jobs.

Put the 1.2 16v badges on to give people a shock at the lights but also so that no thief will bother with them. Then when you go to sell or px your car just swap them over.

Problem is, twin-zorst, 182 cup wheels, bigger spoilers and arches might be a give away :S would be a VERY nice 1.2 tho!

i was thinking the exact thing. the b******s will still nick the new ones 2.0l. so craps one they might not be so interested in selling on ebay is the way forward.

does anyone know if leaving the side badges off and driving in the rain will affect any of my body work e.g. water ingress into any unpainted metal bits or is it all plastic.?

this country is going tits up . criminals get away with too much and the victims get treated like criminals.

and all because they stole my door badges.

ah well

no fortunately no damage - they only took one which doesn't make sense to me - just kids thinking they're funny I think!

Couldn't find any on ebay so far.
