Aw, that sucks. Someone broke into my car earlier this year but MCHUDD was a huge huge help with getting me parts replaced. Legend :D

Best appreciated when open.

That really suck's!, 300's are an easy target these day's as newer car's obviously have more sophisticated security as standard, I'm very mindful about where i leave my car, i prefer not to drive after dusk, and it is always kept in my driveway at night.
Tis bad luck that this has happened!, but all is not lost!, with Mark's part's we must endeavor to keep your gls on the road, and flick a firm middle finger salute to the twoc'ing scum that blight the good name of law abiding motorist's and increase everyone's insurance.

I have limited part's to hand, but i can help to transport bigger part's, i.e. door's ...if needed gis a shout!.

anyway's welcome to the forum!.
liking the lowness, and even the arches, but what happened to those alloy's were on it?, also did u have a cb aeriel on it or am i jus imagining it?.
that wasnt me the mates dirty nasty ford broke down so i had to loan it out for a few days, he was doin deliveries in it. so the wheels came off just incase ;) especially comin in to the slippy season. yea the cb aint wired up but i think it looks kinda funny on it
worst bit about the wee scrotums takin my car is that i had a huge chain in the steering wheel and they even managed to remove that
mchudd you sound like a man in the know ill pm my number hope to get it back on the road as soon as possible

Hi mate.
Glad you were able to get it sorted. Getting that steering colume out was a right B******d,
getting it in must have been worse.When your up and running, give me a shout and i will try and rope
the Dub into a photo shoot.
Cheers Mark.
