ians motor is very very nice

i wouldn't say he's a bufty, but it's up to bufty levels

and i would assume that it's the front cover thats been nicked as the rear ones are part of the bumper so they won't "just fall off"

mind you, i went to a set of rollers once and they forgot to put it back on again and when i got home i asked where it was and they gave it back to me, so it's easily missable if you don't look for it straight away

Its not nice when people thieve things off your car, irony is that was someone who owns a cossie and they can't be fucked to source their own parts so they just teef it of someone else chin up mate and grab yourself a 2nd hand one and paint it up

Gary@RSClassics always has a good amount of bits as he breaks a lot of cars give him a shout he has threads in the cosworth parts for sale room

To make light hearted humour out of your misfortune I'm gutted that is wasn't your jacking point covers, if it had of been I could have sold you a replacement set

I've got a spare kicking around, don't keep one on the car, hate thieves with a passion.
I had some plastic centre caps stolen from my metro mk1 years ago(about 25!!)just after I had resprayed my wheels, and couldn't be bothered to mask them off so the caps had over spray on them, by some miracle the same night a metro mk1 on the next estate gained some, complete with my overspray!!
He's now a owner of a Nissan GTR35 thing(the latest one), some one poured paint stripper over his FRS, don't know who but got a good idea, I think Karma did it!!

Screw the new one on with a couple of self tapers that's what I have done, and have done the same with the jack covers I riveted a strap on the inside of the side skirts and fixed them to that, so they will probably nick the side skirts instead.

Could have been worse, a mates brother once came back to his Series 1 to find all four arches and both skirts had been nicked.
