saw a post on the BMW forum on piston heads on chavs stealing bumpers


> off BMW's and it doesn't look like it's a trend found here either!

Over the years I've had two bumpers stolen but only one radio. Probably says much for my choice of sound systems.;-)


The first was the rear off a Rover P6 just before going on holiday to France, and you wouldn't believe just how many bits it was made up of to replace with new. (I tried for a secondhand one but they were all rubbish) The new one was secured by 'thief proof' wheel type nuts and wired into the alarm...

If it's anything like the KG ones that would be about 8 main (chrome) parts 6 brackets, and about 16 bolts with assorted washers and nuts.

Only the one main bar, but over riders with rubber faces and plastic strips where they met the bumper - all separate parts before the nuts, etc. Then two numberplate lights - same sort of thing.
