Hi Everyone,
I've got an Audi A2 FSI Sport with the 17" wheels, and as expected some ******* stole the wheel caps. I've got a new set, but before I put them on I wanted to know if anyone had ideas on how to make them just a little bit more difficult to steal?
My plan is to install M5 x 4mm grub screws into each of the 9 "removal" holes around the edge, which means they will need to remove the grub screw before using the removal tool. It may be enough so they just ****** off and get a real life... but if there are any better ideas then I'd love to hear about them.
I don't live in a terribly dodgy area, but they are just too quick to steal and then flog on eBay that the ****ers that live amongst us just can't resist them I suppose. It would help if Audi weren't selling them for such a high price... but hey, I refuse to buy my own wheel caps (or some other poor sods) from eBay to fund the criminals crack habit.
<sigh>
