To the OP - Im so sorry to see this mate... really makes me sick and angry... Total Scum bags.

Just get a clear safety film - http://www.pentagonglasstech.com/supaglass/

Im seriously considering this... They dont seem to have any fitters / franchises in Manchester.
A quick search found this company: http://www.pentagonautotints.com/ Anybody have any experience of them?

Rich

Would they just trash the car anyway out of spite?

That is a consideration... I was hoping the installation would come with window stickers to act as a deterrent...
Either way, this whole thing is getting me paranoid... :sad1:

I think diquise is the way to go, just need to find a guide how to do it, picking up a RDS 300 would be cheap enough, it the fascia may just slip over the original fascia??

I know this Is probably a daft idea would printing a colour picture print of a basic head unit and stick over your nav unit so if any thief looked in he would think u had a basic unit and move on .

Trekmeister idea of a false facia in disguise is a good one , some company should design a fake standard cover to stick over u nav unit . Car makers should design like the Audi where the screen is hidden then slides out ! Prob cost issue why they don't do this on all makes

There are so many Scumbags in this country!  :fighting: :fighting: :fighting:

The SupaGlass protection sounds like a reasonable possibility.

Heart goes out to the OP

We shouldn't even need to have a discussion about having to disguise your stuff. But i guess we don't live in that world!

Hope the B**tards get caught

Assume the police have no leads? Guessing the Renault has probably been nicked too....

It would need a code, there are tools out there for around £300 to do that or ebay sellers that get the code for £30

the deadlocking meant that the scumbag had to crawl inside. With all that broken glass it is odd that they don't cut themselves in the process and leave behind DNA

Think the best thing to do is tint front windows to at least 40-50% and just hope the rossers dont pull you over (saying that, will it make it through MOT?) think max is 30%.....

But still might be worth a shout.
my front windows are very dark, just put both windows down for mot, like i did last week  :happy2:

Gutted for you. After only 4 weeks in as well, don't let it put you off the car. Hope you get it all sorted.

So sorry to see this.  :sad1:

This is one of the reasons im resisting our companies "efforts" for limited parking space, by offering season passes for a local NCP car park. At the moment i walk to work, but when we move house at the end of this month we will be commuting. Ive been on our car park waiting list for 6 years, and still dont have a space. Its a joke, but they are dreaming if they think im going to park my car in an NCP all day every day.

Sorry to hear about this increasing problem.

This is the RCD300 cover but this wasn't to hide an RNS.  Don't think it would really work as it wouldn't fit over the knobs..
