^^yeah but it looks like a stealth shelf, not an original vag one so the theif is gonna think, aah a stealth shelf that will have 6x9's in it.........

the carpet is very different to that on the shelf mounts on either side.

and my stealth shelf cost about ?15 quid to make and i had enough leftover carpet and wood to make another one for a mate

Fielder, sorry to hear about your motor

but one obvious question to ask, aint you got an alarm installed on the motor ? If not then I'd suggest getting a decent one installed before spending anymore money on it and get one that still works if the battery is disconnected and has the microwave bubble so that it will go off if the window is smashed, also, get a decent crook lock on there too, I know that doesn't stop them breaking in but at least it will take them longer if they decide they want to nick the whole lot.

I've had the lot done to me over the years, stereos nicked, stuff nicked out that I stupidly left in the car, windows smashed and I've also had a car nicked and burnt out. You need to secure the car as much as you can mate and that's the only advice I can give. If there's nothing to nick out the car or it looks like it will take them too long to pinch the whole lot then they will move on. I know it's unfair to not be able to have your own things because you fear someone nicking them but that's the world we live in. Hope you get it all sorted out.

Police didnt even show up in the end

I dont get whats up with this world, Ever since i was 12 all i wanted was a modified car, I used to watch my dad in his corrardo racing and wanted to do it so bad.

Then when i finally hit 17 and get a licence so i can start modifing a car all people ever do is slag it off or break into it, 3 break ins in 2 months, Insurance so high i have to take out a loan from my mum to pay it, It all turned out to be a huge dissapointment and it just keeps getting worse, So worse infact that im finishing it here and now. No more mods, No more VW golf, No more waking up to find its been broken into, Im selling the CL and buying a Fiesta. End of story

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

even if you modded or left your sterio face plate in a fiesta, it would still have been broken into.

chin up and keep the golf mate.
When someone was targeting my audio i thought to myself...DAMN I HAVE A PHAT AUDIO SYSTEM! coz they want it.

are you third party or fully comp because most insurers pay an amount for sterio/posession recover on fully comp.

one other thing....go monthly on insurance payouts if you can?

ohh and i was going to say that the feds will never turn up, they are too busy eating dounuts and collecting speeding fines

Fielder
Bite the bullet Dude, and try and forget what has happened, you cant do sh!t about it now, but dont give up on the Dubs. Get yourself along to a good summer show, have a few beers with some other dubbers, and restore your faith in humanity. There are decent car lovers out there, you just got to meet up with them and get some inspiration back. Two years time you could be riding in the next big thing on the vee-dub scene.

Sorry about my outburt. Id just been bottoling it up all day and when the police came and just told me theres nothing they can do to a "boi Racer" i just lost it.

But its all worked out, I used my secrite wepon (my mother) and sent her to the CIS broker who will NOW be covering the cost of my stereo, Window (which has now been fixed) AND possibly the snooper (Which the money from will be used to fit an alarm)

thanks for the support everyone, Im hoping to have the ride fixed up in time for the AMD day, Just gotta wait for my check from the insurance
