Ive got 1 chrome left and 3 faded ones.. My god if i catch them they wont be walking for long!! :evil: 

Has anyone got any links to somewhere i can buy them again, and any good tips how to secure them on cos popping out with a screwdriver aint secure at all!

Nothing's safe anymore. :sad:

I came back to my car & found that someone had swapped my nice, shiny aerial for a crappy, weathered/split one. :angry:

Problem being, that if you caught the thieving scum in the act and showed them your version of the law, you'd be the one taken to court by the scum, whose only doing it via legal aid cos they're a job shy little tw@t.

the law's an ass, and we let the beggars get away with it.....

(ps ive had some stuff taken too...... and my car got keyed all down one side..every panel inc fuel cap and side indicator   :angry: )

if i ever caught them in the act............................... :angry:


Hey Loonie, do you rekon it was the garage that took/swapped your centre caps?????

I think it's a bit weird that they have bothered to replace them with the duff ones though?...as said before, you sure it was'nt a mix up at the garage?. 

I know how gutting it is when you work hard for something and it gets nicked. Dont let the To**ers grind you down though mate.

Would make me feel better tho :wink:  Thats bad what they done to your car, makes mine look minimal!

My mate mentioned the garage too, but i noticed it just before i had the problem with the tyre... so thats ruled them out.  I thought could it be the car wash i take it to aswell, if they can be dis-coloured from the chemicals they use.. but only 3 caps is different?  Oh and to top it off my daughter seen a 9 year old local kid putting a screw under my tyre last night, will be keeping an eye on him and having words with the parents!
