IF your on here that is......as above, I hope your happy stealing one of the walkinshaw bumper fog light covers off the front of my VXR8 either last night/this afternoon while I was work, shame you broke it in the process, waste of space.

feel free to knock on the door for the other one cause clearly its no use to me having just one of them any more. car looks awesome now thanks to you with fog light surrounds with more holes than swiss cheese

The WP fog light cover your now missing..I hope the bd brings it back ( which I don't think will happen )Did you ask around to see if anyone saw a person snooping around your car, or there is a CCTV camera near by.

I have had past cars keyed, and all 3 at one stage. I know how you feel right now.furious

Tbh I don't think I'd want it back anyway. they must have been in a rush getting it off and snapped the plastic in one of the corners around the tightening screw hole, so it'll only rattle about at speeds and let the water/condensation in anyway

Its annoying really, I lived in a st hole of an area for 15 years in east London and had my fair share of nice cars, never once got touched (paid through the roof insurance though). recently moved to a really quiet village out in Essex and live in a cul de-sac which possibly see's a couple of cars a day turning round... if that (insurance dropped by 60% due to postcode change). thing is I have security cameras I used to use in my old address, but didn't put them up as I really didn't expect this to sort of thing to happen round here.

That's just awful to read Rich!!!!! I think it's some scumbag that has heard from other forums how much they are worth and was wanting to make a quick buck, the little sts!!!! get yourself an in car forward facing camera that records all the time, would have caught them red handed, now that would have been fun

wkers, this is one of the reasons mine never sits outside the house, straight into a nice warm garage out of the way.

Hopefully someone finds one spare laying around that you could fit as they looks ste without them.

I was thinking of asking a few plastic moulding companies to see if they could cast moulds for them and maybe produce some? Or have any other owners been down this route before?

This is from some past threads on WP fog covers. Dated Jan 2012 . Lee st was past owner of my R8 WP Bathurst and the fog cover is still cracked.

There cant be many owners of VXR8's with the fog light covers on our cars. Maybe we could count up how many owners live in that part of the world and my process of elimination narrow down who possibly could have wanted one.

Start a List who actually has them on their R8's

1. R80HSV Bathurst S (Sussex)
2.
