Might have a set of badges in the spares bin at home. If I still do, I'll send them out to you.

Jealousy is a terrible thing though, stupid coonts.

nope south london, its a nice area imo full of families and old people but its next to a park so you get a couple of chancers with their pals coming through on the odd occasion,

the rear one was made out of metal original badge, front was cheapy plastic probably snapped when they took it out,

bought replacements for £4 all in anyway

I wonder if BMW sell the alarm fitted on this 750i... that would definitely stop people touching it :P

you could wire up a second battery to the bodywork (just sit it underneath the car on the floor, so anyone who lays a finger on it gets a small shock (or something along these lines).

The irony of course is should one catch the scrote in action and (justifiably) break their fingers, I think we all know who the police would be coming down on. :(

People are just hating, cause I take so much pride in it, wash an wax every 2 weeks or so, defo the most colourful car on the close, it's generally just a nice car get loads of offers when I drive it around as many of you know in yours!

Don't think I've pissed any1 off either, mite look into the leccy bodywork if I can catch the dipshits in the act an wire it to the remote start switch it on as there touching it ! :twisted:

remote start electrified car means you have to see them, Electrify the bodywork anyway, the screams should wake you up fast enough for you to catch them and either break fingers/ arms/ legs or restrain then and call the plod.

i just put a new set of wheels on my tourer and the first night the valve caps got nicked all of £3 worth.
I put another set on i got for free the next night and within an hour they had gone again but this time i had my cctv on the car and caught the little cunts might sound silly for the cost but ive passed it on to the local plods with finger prints too as they dropped a bottle and they are looking into it. :x

police are lonnngg! a neighbour told me yday that plod caught some chavs with a bag full of badges, i rang and asked if they have actually caught anyone and have any badges, got about 3-4 calls asking me about -

my details,
the situation,
what happened,
my registration,
my vehicle colour,
the make / model ,

then got a second call about where i heard the rumours from and if i could get there persoanl details, i said i dont know,

then got another call explaining that there was going to be an telephone investigation or something like that i forgot what it was exactly,

then today i got a call on my home phone once again asking me to describe what happened and then got told to go down to my local station and enquire if they actually have caught anyone and have any badges,

so all that work to simply tell me to go into a station and enquire! sigh

nothing you can do mate exept:

a)live with it,

b)catch the little buggers beat them get sent to jail,

c)or go out shout at the little buggers and get stabbed which seems to be the trend these days,


in the eyes of the senile judges all 3 are acceptable
:|

or alternatively you could put your car in a garage ! :D
