They fetch £200 a pair on Ebay.
Not so much as that - a couple of pairs went for £77 and £99 over the last week.I'd have thought they were worth a lot more than that for the effort put in here.
It suggests they're nicked to provide heat and light sources for cannabis farms - much more plausible.

Those will have been standard halogen ones, the xenon ones can fetch way more than that, I was looking at some xenon ones for a Mk6 golf and they are around £250 each. It seems VAG cars are always a victim of thefts like these, always see stolen recovered ones for sale with wheels, sat navs and interior pieces missing.
Ah - I stand corrected.Yes, they were indeed standard lights.

The last time I used a VAG forum it seemed to be full of thieving little gits with a considerable amount of Audi & Bentley and even Lamborghini parts on old Golfs & Polos. No questions ever seemed to be asked why a 19 year old kid from Uxbridge would be selling 20 inch Bentley wheels from his mums flat or a 6th former with a pair of seats from a Gallardo.
Regarding taking the Scirocco apart with a hammer, I bet a solid stamp would have been enough to remove the front bumper from our Golf, as it was the front valance fell off in a car park.
I assume you contacted the relevant autorities?Regarding taking the Scirocco apart with a hammer, I bet a solid stamp would have been enough to remove the front bumper from our Golf, as it was the front valance fell off in a car park.

HID bulbs are lower wattage as well 35 W I think. Not what you'd get for heat, but the light output is obviously a lot higher.

I was concerned when I bought my Fiesta ST as thieves used to rip all the ST stuff off for their basic cars and leave the skeletons of stripped STs on garage forecourts. It was like an ST Disease.
This, its not a new thing. They take the bumpers and lights around here. Front, back and any sideskirts/spoilers if they can be unbolted trom the outside of the car.Gaz. said:

In laws have had their ST badges nicked off their Focus several times. Certain ones are £40+ each from Ford!Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
