Watch out GTi owners....
« on: October 01, 2010, 09:36:31 pm »
I'm sure this GTI had bumpers when I went to work this morning....

Blatantly been ripped off as there were bits of plastic on the ground on the other side of the car.
Feel sorry for the owner as it was probably one of the few places in the car park that a camera didn't seem to be pointing at.

Utter scum, im not sure why some people find it acceptable to ruin other people's hard worked for property.

Here's an idea, whoever stole that, what about dishing out the same punishment, with their face instead.

If ONLY we had a law system where these criminals actually get punished.

Bit blurred but you get the gist...  There is some cable hanging down and a chunk of plastic, and obviously no number plates.

If I see any silver GT's or whatever driving around with GTi bumpers (in silver)  I'm going to have a word.  :fighting:

I just don't get why someone would do this.

Surely by ripping them off they can't even fit them to their own as they will crack the mounting points etc? I'd image the alarm would have gone off too?

I agree, The bolts holding them on are truly in there as well, especially the ones under the bonnet.  I can see how they could have taken the ones in the wheel arches out.

Very scary. Fair enough the rear was exposed, but you'd have thought the front bumper was pretty much "protected" by being against the kerb.

Hope the scum die in hell.  :fighting:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I guess the splitters are mostly attached to the bumpers so they might survive a bit !!, not bloody good

I just don't get why someone would do this.
