Theft of indicator lense

[Marquis_Rex]

I made a flying visit to this PF venue.
Was shocked in the morning, when I had already left and was half way out of Norwich to find that my right front indicator had been nicked on my 993 tt

I had to drive the Porker all the way to Germany sans indicator lense.

If some trampy thief was after the white indicator lenses why would they only nick one side? Most likely spiteful behaviour because the cars a Porsche

Not sure if the lense was still there when me and Frik had a walk around the car late on Sunday. It was dark. If it was there, then they probably nicked it when I was sleeping in the car!
Now I have to go hunting for a Porsche dealer near here. At least in England I knew where all the specialists were.....

Surely more likely it just fell off when you were driving on the camp site. It was very bumpy and anything slightly loose would likely fall off at that time.

Nope. It's secured in place by screws and clips/wedged in.
Also, I didn't go to the camp site because I came late, I couldn't find you guys. Perhaps if I had parked up near the others this wouldn't have happened. I parked up near the offices, even further up nearer to the track than the restaurant and toilets/showers.

A few people I know had dust caps nicked from their tyre valves too. I really can't imagine it would have been a PH'er or anyone associated with us lot.

It's a shame there always seems to be a downside to even the most fun of events

this could have happened with a TVR but not with Porsche
You must be really child'ish to nick some lenses for your own porsche, bastards!

Very sorry to hear this MR - she's a beautiful beasty.

Certainly don't recall anything being absent at the time. Can't believe anyone would attempt a theft with you in the car though.

I was really quite surprised when I heard about it yesterday morning, I wouldn't have expected it at an event like that, hope they didn't do anything else. By the way, it was good to talk to you, it would have been to to continue chatting somewhere where I could hear you easily. Still, there's always another time.

[Marquis_Rex]

It was good to meet both you Mathew C and Frik.
Thanks for the complements about the 993 Frik, Id forgotten how much fun she is to drive!
I've gotten hold of a new unit at a main dealer for quite a good price. Only problem is I started spending alot more on other Porker stuff when I saw the prices over here compared to the UK!
