proper ones fetch high prices... best off trying ebay and breakers... you can buy copy ones, but they dont alway fit 100%

wen u get a new one, glue the fooker down, infact BOLT it down if you can! pikeys allways nick these

infact, try securing a load of sharp pointy objects like drawing pins to the back, so when sum1 put there hands there to grab it, they get a bit of a shock...
