some twit decided to try to break into my car today and broke the handle!!!! luckly they didnt damage the door too much but didnt get in.
So i go to GSF and as for a new handle, and they go "is that a drivers or passanger side?" so i ask for a drivers side and the come back with "we dont have any drivers sides, would you like a passanger side?" and im like WTF?? how can i fit a passanger side onto a drivers side, so the guy scuttles off and gets me a drivers side from the stock room that had apparentally fallen down the back or somthing, so i get it, buy it, get home, take my door appart and guess what! they have given me a f**king passangers side handel!!!!

could always de-lock it by using the rear right door handle?
-
Mother F**ker! This is unbeleavable!
I got it all sorted out, new handle, repaired all the metal and drive round the corner to get some rust repellent, I come out of the shop and guess what i find. Some little twits tryed it again! only this time they managed to shag the entire lock system with it!!
AHHHHHHHHH WHY DO I EVEN BOTHER!?!?!?!!?

Fielder,
You have just learnt a lesson (that many of us have, myself included) with the bonus of not loosing any of your kit or your whole car.
Rule one of car modifying is fit a good alarm with perimeter protection before you spend any money on anything else - otherwise its all at risk.
You've had a door damaged, and thats cost you a little money and caused you some agro, but take it from someone that lost thousands in stereo gear, you have got off lightly.
Fit the alarm NOW, and don't spend any more money on another area of the car until this is done - its clear they want in your car, so make it tough on them.
I wish I had been given the same opportunity to learn the lesson before all my Alpine stereo gear went walkies. >:(

true that. first thing i did when i got my old car was sitck an alarm in, as I knew there'd be subs, amps+ a headunit etc etc in there.
what are insurance companies like with mk2s and mk3 8vs?
for my valver they wouldnt insure me without a CAT1 alarm on there
-
u must have an theif attractive car?
fit a f**kin alarm man!
-
They're all a bunch of w*nkers mate! Why people have to do Sh*t like this is beyond me. You can spend hours and pounds getting a car sorted and then some little jerk comes and ruins it all for you.
Perhaps you need to wire your new door handles up to the mains or something?! ;)
I remember years ago seeing a MK1 GTi (Probably not long after the MK2 came out, so it was pretty tidy still!) parked at the road side with the sunroof open and the car was unlocked. I thought what an idot to do that but on closer inspection, noticed that the back seat was down and a rather large alsatian was lying in the back - better than any CAT 1 alarm I've seen! :)
