As the title says really, either done over-night or on supermarket car park today! Only noticed when I came to wash the wheels and noticed someone had been messing! All 4 gone! :angry:
Why do they bother?
Anyway rant over, wheres the best place to get replacements from? Not sure what they looked like, any logo on them?
Is it worth getting the anti-pikey (anti-thieft) ones?
Cheers for comments....

I had those on my last car....They aren't anti theft....I had the 2 from the drivers side stolen!

The proper metal VW ones are available on fleabay, £1.50 for a set of 4.
-
i assume you mean the centre caps which do have the VW logo on
£4.50 each from the dealer - had to buy 4 the other day as my old ones had The Worm
the nut covers are about 45p each iirc

Years ago an old mate caught a kid nicking his dust caps, gave the kid a right rollicking then the parents got involved saying ''he's just a kid''.....trying to justify it! :shocked:, stealings stealing no matter what the price.

Cheers for the replies! agree steeling is steeling, must be the latest kiddy craze?
Do the OEM ones have VW or GTi written on them or just plane chrome, i never really noticed them that well :embarassed:

Erm - and where do you think they come from. The fleabay seller is probably the pikey ba$tard who stole them in the first place!

I think the OP meant the dust caps for the tyre valves. :wink:
Anyway, the OEM metal dustcaps, for the OEM metal valve stems are only 22 pence each from the stealer - part number: 1K0 907 299
HTH

I don't doubt that dsgwagen is an official VW dealer, but the other hundreds of ebayers selling valve caps, and other 'stealable' items are highly likely not as genuine as dsgwagen!

How much of a pikey does someone need to be to go and steal a part that costs 22 pence!
F@cking knive sharpening, lucky heather selling, fortune telling, caravan towing, transit driving inbred tw@ts!!! :angry:
-
Thats why i stick with the black plastic ones,they do for me.

me too, but lowe and behold, someone stole 2 from me!!!!!!!
i think kids get them for their bikes, hence why most of the time only 2 are taken

Its the dust/valve caps im after. These are the OEM ones arent they? Im sure I recognise them. These are the ones 22p each. if so I will pop into a dealer later. Cheers for the help folks.
at 22p each its pathetic to steal them really, but thats a pikey for you.

Why buy something when you can steal it. Why work when you can scrounge benefits of the state all your life? Pikeys are like that! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

You tell it like it is! :grin:
But their offspring should all be euthanased at birth, along with all the illegal immigrants - then this country might become a better place!
