I f**king hate pikeys: how secure are mk3 style handles?
« on: 17 May 2006, 21:01 »
Not happy!  :angry: :angry: :angry:

Went out to my car before to find some little pikey has tried to break into my car. They pulled the guard plate back a bit then when that didn't work just hacked into the handle with a screwdriver. They managed to get the door unlocked but had butchered the handle in doing so and so couldn't open the door. Fortunately i hadn't fixed my central locking so the drivers door remain locked.

I was thinking about getting some mk3 style handles but now i need to do something sharpish. How secure are they? Also, can i fit new armour plates with the mk3 style handles?

Cheers, Ben.

MK3 handles are wank beyond wank. Just get some more ADPs and a new lock. They did the job this time and will again. At the end of the day if they want to get in that bad then they will smash a window.

That's that one sorted then, cheers mate! VWspares are the cheapest, anyone got a reason why i shouldn't get them from there?

Haven't got a clue what they were after as there was literally nothing in the car: no face plate on the radio, no cd's around, no speakers, no money or fags, nothing! Even the alarm sensors which are clearly visible didn't seem to deter them. But like you say, if they want to get in then there's always the window.

I have a set in the box on the wardrobe, tried fitting them once and they were a complete bastard so put them back in the box and they haven't moved since. They are a waste of money.

The ADP's are going to the best deterrent and security measure.
