grrr. Some dick has knicked my valve caps

Zero71 · 08-11-2013, 10:53 AM

I can't believe some folk. Little metal valve caps. Some folk would steal anything. Blood boiling.

That just pisses me off no end.. fortunately it hasn't happened to me with my current car but I'm still thinking about a set of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Richbrook-An...ing+valce+caps

£14 on valve caps?! I know having the original ones nicked is annoying but you can replace the set for £3!

It's what kids do, put black plastic ones on as you are bound to lose another set now they realise you have metal ones.

I got one of mine nicked. Not sure about the locking caps as if they get stuck on you're in trouble.

I just bought 15 original BMW caps from the link below on eBay. 6 quid the lot..exactly the same. Put one on to replace the nicked one and now have 14 spare. At that price you can afford to have some nicked now and again.

Thanks-just bought a set

Had them nicked on my previous car. Just stuck to the rubber ones after that. Hope they stay on this car.

Yep! Visit to Halfords at the weekend I think. These kids were on the 7th floor of a multistory car park? I suspect it was a wee ned and a Saxo or that ilk.

16 black plastic ones on eBay for 99p for me.

Had mine nicked whilst in the gym this morning, little toerags

Bought some black plastic ones of eBay, as the metal ones will go again for sure.
