Crispian_J_Hotson Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Were they considerate thieves and removed them without damaging the paint? Badge collectors, they are ruthless! With any luck, they are having an extremely bad day today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sutty2006 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I used to do that round scrap yards but not in the street. Who’d want a Seat badge anyway? Lol Jerzy Woking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigman1207 Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 No worries but appreciate offer mate. How easy is it to replace the plastic wood facia around the dash! Need one as mine cracked my fault though not the little shites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdkrc Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Can confirm that with Glasgow. Lots of sound people but an equal number of fuckwads. I lived in the worst parts of Leeds, Dublin and some shiteholes in London and never had any real hassle. 2yrs in Royston and I had a window smashed, targets painted on my door and got my car keyed several times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Snipes Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 A friend has a 202 c-class in Margate and it routinely gets the badge nicked. I didn't think anyone could be arsed anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspiral_Mondays Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I remember back in the late 80s, the local VW dealers would actually replace the badges on cars that had been “beasty boyed“ for free as it was so prevalent. Last car I had the badge taken from was my company C250TD W202 ca. 1999. The Merc star on the boot got prised off and the one at the front was bent but still in place.

Broadsword Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 If I were a badge enthusiast it would seem easier and more productive to go to the local scrap yard, fill a carrier bag with them and pay the few quid they ask for. In fact I have bunch of badges sitting on the shelf in front of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigman1207 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Little shites took another one! Honda one off the civic last night! Tonight I'm out hunting. Not happy not at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilA Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 That sucks. I hope you get them. I had someone take a screwdriver to the Vauxhall badge on the front of my Victor. That hurt because they dented and scratched the nose of the bonnet, that was held on with two screws from behind! Location? Weston Super Mare, up on South Road, a real nice neighborhood. Can happen anywhere. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datsuncog Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Someone tried to set fire to my Mk2 Fiesta in W-S-M, by bending the doorframe out and dropping lit matches onto the passenger seat. Didn't actually catch fire, but made a right old mess of the Ghia velour. Then they broke the wingmirrors and pulled off the aerial. That was off Locking Road, mind. I was probably fairly lucky.

They were likely constipated so you were at least saved that. Datsuncog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
