we used to do it with steel cans when we was a kid for blue peter!!
Totaly unrelated really but I got the garage to give me new wheel trims when they serviced my car. They chipped one doing the service... but I already had one that was cracked so they did both on the assumption they had damaged both.
Not before trying to offer me the most hideous replacement wheeltrims, attempting to pass them off as better than the originals!!!! Needless to say I made them get ones that matched what I already had... thereby passing up a complete new set.... On the plus side despite the odd looks from the mechanic I kept the two chipped ones just incase some scally makes off with mine (TBH tho I don't think thats very likely, they don't have pimp appeal)
Anyway if your feeling particularly protective of your car ZIP ties are a deterant... but I think most yobbo's carry knives to deal with those these days. Still if you want to waste money Halfords now package 8 black zip ties in a little plastic box as a wheel trim anti theft device... come with instructions for about 3 times the price of a pack of 100 regular zip ties...
All the wheel trims I see in the road are in the middle of the motorway... I guess needy people must already be stopping for the ones on the hard shoulder !! :shock:
Anyone know the model of Vauxhall? Wheel trims come in different sizes, so we'd need to know the right type...

"Right listen up you lot,I have the wheel trims they are safe for now.I want 10 performing monkeys and a 15 inch cock and ill get them back to you safely.
If i don't get what i want the wheel trims get it" :evil2: :kick:

We passed a cow, with it's head poking out thru the fence, chewing on a wheeltrim that was in the road, yesterday. I'll go back and salvage what's left, this morning, if you like.
Ok i would at this time, Ahem, like to say, Ahem, although i may have been slightly invoved in the missing crystal incident, Ahem, and at this point i must stress that DAVE NOTTS had nothing to do with the missing crystals, Ahem, No DAVE NOTTS didnt do a thing. And it wasnt DAVES idea, See DAVE im no snitcher.
I certainly didnt have any involvement in the wheel trim incident, they would have looked a bit daft hanging from the light fitting.
