Actually been thinking...

Will probably fit the amour door plates [whats a fair price for a set of 4?].
"Slim Jims" - what are they? If i go and ask for that at my vw dealer are they going to laugh at me for saying that?

Im not overly fussed about bringing insurance price down that much...I'd like an alarm that will TXT my phone if it has been set off.
Im not really up on the alarm functions, would someone be able to go through a few feature's i'd want as standard?
?250 at the moment is a lot of money still...?150 is what I'd prefer to pay, unless the ?250 is really REALLY worth it...

Thank you !

I fitted a Crimestopper alarm/ immobiliser and remote lock setup into mine last month. Works the treat and was fairly inexpensive. I don't know if the name is big here or not. Fairly big company in the U.S. though. Easy to fit as well.

you can buy a clifford alarm and pay for it monthly if you're short on the ?500+. defiently worth it. just think how suiacidal you'd be if you spend and 2 years on the car just for someone to take it off your drive. I know I wouldn't like it.

just an LED on your dash will deture the amature TWOCers!

I have a CAT1 alarm and I still remove the fuel pump relay when I leave it somewhere dodgy.

hi there you can get anti slim jim plates to stop 'slim jimming'. aswel as the armour plates around the locks.

someone said their toad alarm is crap i use to know a bloke who work for them and he had 3 alarm on his uno turbo and that was secure! he was a pro fitter he use to fit them to ferrari porsche and so on.

the best security is layered by making every attempt to get your car harder things like proximity sensors make haning around your car imposible .

and with the alarms the alarm is only as good as the person fitting it and if there good and its a good make you have a winning combination.

and i can recomend a disk lok!

Any more tips - its not like there's enough to chew on alread but always nice to have LOADS of opinion's.
?500 is just waaay outa my league, I just bought new alloy's, exhaust ect...cant do that yet...need something cheap pronto in terms of an alarm at least.
