Default Modding a Disklock?

Anyone got any ideas or know how a Disklock can be modified to make it stronger?

I had the idea of welding 2 flat bars at the back so it cant be prized off but will still "spin on attack" they'll be bent enough welded from top -bottom an fitted so the lock still fits an works as it shld

i heard someone before mention there are other ways to make it stronger, any ideas?

i got two pieces of metal, half moon shaped and welded them on the back.

then bent the middle outwards so it will still fit around the wheel.

Does give me a bit more piece of mind.

as Davecos said, weld 2 bars down the back to prevent the disklock from being
prised over the steering wheel, i also welded supports over the hinges, the top
being most prone to attack. i was going to finish it nicely & give it a swish repaint
so it looked 'factory' but in the end left it looking like shite so when people look through the window they know its going to be a bit more of a pain in the arse to
get off.

I just got a silver one
They are doing a chrome one, but I thought it could act like a mirror in summer and blind passers by

I would have had yellow to, but i think the silver is subtle and does the job nicely

Someone might break in the car for the chrome one!!! lol

But it shouldnt be subtle! It should be as bright and in your face as possible... to put people off

I know what you mean, but no one usually notices my grey car-tends to blend in the background in a nice way
I just don't want it to look like it's worth nicking - do you see what i mean?
