Default What is the world coming to ?

Last week I had 4 metal dust caps on my car.

Yesterday whilst checking the pressures I found that some lowlife has nicked them.

Dust caps...I ask you !

You can have nothing nowadays.

I've now put on some Ripspeed locking ones.

Its his mother I feel sorry for !

Yea. They are sad little kids. I think it is still popular to go around stealing peoples dust caps. Stupid little kids cant they thing of something better to do??? I know a few kids near where i am that go around taking the caps off cars I MEAN COME ON!!!! THEY KIDS ARE 14 YEAR OLDS !!! shouldn't they have a more of a life ?????? anyway I sugest putting metal dust caps on that you can tighten up with a spanner. and i wonder if they can get them off now. anyway atleast your car is not damaged. nice driving

I wouldn't bet on it being kids either. I bought some hexagonal alloy ones from Halfords. At 10 quid a throw they're quite a desirable item. They're probably gracing some Ford Escort.

Those are the ones I am now sporting.

They are screw on which will deter the opportunist but you can't guarantee everything !

On 2 of mine the outer casing has separated from the brass threaded interior bit. A dab of Superglue between the two solves the problem though.
