i have had lots of nice dust caps even locking ones but the little s**ts still get them off i would like to catch them good kick in the ****

 

Come on now - you telling me youve never nicked any as a kid

 

Cheeky ******* nicked my nice shiny caps and replaced all four with black plastic ones

 

not as many as this lot have had i must give every kid on a bike a set

 

When I had gold wheels I had some nice golden caps to go with them.They only lasted a couple of days though, two went missing, strange that! I threw the other two in the bin, If I can't have them neither can they, the boogers!

 

It happens all the time to most people, have never understood why really

We have had a couple of nice locking sets nicked too, gets annoying because some of them aren't that cheap

So gone back to the boring black ones now

 

some people stick a bit of that threadlock on to try and thwart the young scotes, no fun if you want to inflate your tyres though!

 

Is a stupid thing to pinch though Have never been able to understand the attraction of pinching them , more so the black ones

 

Christ, is this the kind of Subaru owner we're getting now?

 

I collared a lad one day, he had a dozen black ones in his pocket.I said "what do you nick them for?" He said "It's just a laugh Innit?" I thought yeah! hillarious! He didn't see the funny side when he had to go round all the different cars and put them back on!

 

Some nice alloy valves and dust caps, finish off the wheels, but its just not worth it. They will disappear sooner or later. I have had several sets nicked and just dont bother any more. Little BAST***S

 

Never mind, you could have had two whole scoobs nicked like me. That might put it into perspective, slightly.

 

I got some silver ones with subaru logos on them for christmas, straight on to ebay!

 

Still no news Bubba?

 

PM.

 

Get some of these.....

SPIN-CAPS

Spin-Caps, Anti Theft Valve Cap, Chrome Valve Stem Caps, Locking Valve Stem Cap

They won't get them off unless they have the key... and its not an allen key either !

I was looking out of the window one day and i saw a few youths on bikes trundle past my car. as the window was open i heard one shout ''oi..look at those dustcaps they have honda on them''(had a type r at time).

next thing his bikes on the floor and hes bending down....

cue me hanging out of window '' oi you theiving little sh** get your meathooks off my fuc**ng car NOW!!!!!! i have never seen a person move so fast in my life. ''i was just looking mate'' was his reply before he got on said bike and pedaled like mad with mates following.

 

Flush Fit Valves | Wheel & Tyre Accessories | Demon Tweeks Motorsport, Motorcycle, Modifying, Parts and Accessories

Flush fit valves.... the way forward....

 

I have these and they do work. had a set of chrome ones nicked, got spin-cap replacements... You can see finger marks in the dirt where the thieving tw@ts have tried to remove them, but so far they have lasted 4 months!

 

Plastic dust caps are the future

Had shiny dust caps but the little ******* nicked 3 Someone must have been riding a uni-cycle

 

Yeah the spinning caps as better, I could just imagine the "Thick TW**S" sitting there for hours trying to un-screw them with their thiefing little mitts.

Thinking about it though, if they can't get them off what damage will they do to the car to say "Sod you".

 

i used to look out for gold ones when i was a kid as i had gold araya aero rims and looked the doggies with some old guys gold dice caps from their car its a kid thing....i had a set of volkd rays ones on my skyline that came as new with the wheels and still had them after 8 months...but saying that, there arent many kids where i live that would do that..its a sleepy fishing town. urban areas/bigger towns and cities are so much worse for it !! bubba po, just read you got two cars blagged now thats worth moaning about ! hope all is well though !

 

Does a uni-cycle not have one wheel

 

Think maybe he meant one bike and one unicycle = 3 wheels

Cheers

it's a bit mad how many people just leave them off when it is a safety item

 

The Lord... she works in mysterious ways. I used to have a rather bulky set of shiny caps on one of my other cars. One day I noticed they'd been swapped... but for a much sleeker set, which I still have (just not on the Scooby).
