Anything Not Welded Down...

[javadude]

Had my aerial stolen on Saturday night

Also had the valve dust caps and rear badge taken previously. Lovely people we have in this world. At least no one put another scrape down the side without leaving a note for a few weeks.

yep... that pretty much sums up why i moved away from reading..

Sorry to hear about that mate.

[Loz]

THese obeservations have all the hall marks of being back in good ol' Blighty, Javadude.

At least they left your car.

THought for the day:

Nothing is so bad that some good may not come of it

Sorry to hear it - I've superglued mine on to the car...........

Instead of superglue... have you seen those flush dust caps you can get that look really good with nice alloys? good security too. also what about an arial that is fixed in the rear window with a signal amplifier?

JUst a couple of ideas from "undercover stealth brother"

I have had 2 sets of valve covers stolen, so have been lucky compared to others, have you considered Locking valve covers that is what I put on mine now and they are bugger to fit but that means a bugger to remove.

Nearly bought some but they're pretty heavy, well 10 or 20 g - about the size of the wheel balancing weights. I didn't want to risk upsetting the balance of the wheels. Do you find them ok?

my mate has an immobiliser on his van.. so they stole his back doors and on front door and his bonnet

not the first time either!

[Loz]

You Mate saves a fortune on Air conditioning though, right?

Sorted myself a short aerial, cost just £7 and is a perfect fit. (Standard Lexus one was going to be about £23). I bought it from, from....no I can't say it. Too ashamed.

Worse. A place of sometimes appalling levels of customer service, and abysmally unreliable products.

[javadude]

OK I confess - I've fitted a Vauxhall :yack: Frontera aerial to my Lexus.

PS Thanks Matt - saw an earlier post of yours.

It does look cool. :zee: Wonder when it'll stop working. :winky:

THe GS has a retracting arial that tunes its length to the FM frequency. THe best part is:

I have not found any problem with the balance of the car when I put the locking caps on. They did not feel much heavier than the official Lexus caps. Can not say I have had any problems and considering I travel on winding roads can not complain. The ones I have are by Cosmic racing and came from Gendirect I think.
