Does ne know how I could stop my next paire of clear oval side repeaters form being nicked?
I had cliped and clear silicon sealed them in they had been in for little over two years and some little dickless piece of F**King S**T nicked them when I was parked out side my Ladies house!
Could I hock up some sort of electric current form the battery?
NEone Ideas please?

its pretty harsh and stuff getting nicked is never good but a) plastic isnt too hot at conducting electricity and b) 2 years aint overly bad

homing beacons set inside the lens. wait a day then track them to the lads house and give him a slap and get them back. could prove to be costly.

2 years aint bad for keepin a set though perhaps he felt you should update them for a newer design and so he helped you remove them.

buy orange 1s lol :)

or take the wing off,poke the repeater through then fibre glass or glue round the peg on the back of the wing.

ive never done it but its the way i would

thanks people!the james bond 007 aproach I think will be a bit on the pricy side I think might get a set of the new Astra(square) or new Corsa (oval)ones and glue them in place so they can't go walkies!

Why thank you muchly

Will def get some new ones@that price!

Removing holes will cost a fair bit more than
?12 including the holders

i reiterate the main problem:

plastic is used as an electrical insulator for a very good reason.

you could make the whole wing live but then realistically the whole car would be live because of the conductivity throughout the whole car being uavoidable

Just a thought, but if they're hard to get off, some twat might get a screw driver on the job and end up making a right mess of your wing and paint.
It might be cheaper to fit 'em on as normal, then at least the wing might avoid damage if some twat tries nicking 'em.
Just a thought.
