Heart breaking!
u think the little or big sh1ts would have the decency to at least put bricks on each corner , the brake discs on the front are prob damaged as well now

IanL-RS3 · Apr 17, 2005

i cant imagine how gutting that would feel. bad enough seeing my car mirrorless.

but so i dont have to i've just gone out an gotten some mcgard locking nuts. not too expensive to make it a bit more difficult for the /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/swear.gif to nick.

The standard lockers are easy to get off (not going to expose how on here).

Get them changed for some McGuards from halfords..

Job done.

I second that, if nothing else everybody should change the locking wheel nuts from stock ones to avoid this, stock ones are very simple unfortunately /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

i'd say support your local shop /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ok.gif and you are more likely to get a better price too! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Nothing against halfords!!

rasA4 · Apr 17, 2005

whats the difference with the stock ones and "mcguards" ones also what am i expected to pay for a set of these?
cheers

dickys3 · Apr 17, 2005

McGuards will set you back about £30 from halfords.

You have pm regarding the stock ones.

Rob W8 · Apr 18, 2005

I've got standard ones and some McGuards in the garage. I think it is time to stop being lazy and go and put them on looking at that!

LoL Audi have about 7 key patterns - you can easily get the correct keys and have a field day, take some advise and buy some McGuard locking wheel bolts - these have won numerous car tests and awards.

I have both the McGuard locking nuts (with the twisty/spinny head bolt) and the standard Audi locking nut on each wheel. (8 locking nuts in total to remove if they want my wheels!).

imported_Yaseen · Apr 18, 2005

Anyone know if the mcguard Ultra are worth the extra money over normal ones?

imported_disley · Apr 18, 2005

F/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/swear.gif IN W /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/swear.gifRS..........
2 sets of lockin nuts on mine tho /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/fuck_you.gif

imported_fingermouse · Apr 18, 2005

you can get the mcguard locking wheel nuts cheaper in the group buy on ts

bainsyboy · Apr 18, 2005

DickyS3 thanks for advice ill take you up on that i think id be well gutted if that happened to me, must admit you dont see so many cars haveing there alloys nicked now but perhaps if the lazy ba---rds got a job they could buy the own set of wheels

bainsyboy · Apr 18, 2005

never say die and any one else that replied to my query thanks for replies i will make haste tomorrow to halfords to get a set i think, eight locking wheel nuts lol, i bet kwick fit get pee,d off with you but must admit thats prob what i will do thanks to all for advice

Not sure I would be 100% happy about doing that though - especially as the seller will need your address to send them to. Wouldn't take too much for them to get a spare key and then 6 months later........

If they are only £30 new, why risk saving £5 - £10 on Ebay? Or am I being paranoid? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bang.gif

CJ A4 · Apr 18, 2005

Exactly what i was thinking ....just pay the 30 or 35 quid at halford for peace of mind!

IanL-RS3 · Apr 18, 2005

my mcgards were labelled £25 - not ultras. and i think i paid £20 with discount /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

go to your wee local guy and offer him £25 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ok.gif

and i'd second/third the thing about buying off ebay - i wouldnt take the risk for the amount of money you'll save.

TDI-line · Apr 18, 2005

How about some quick grip in a tube from Jewsons, they won't get those /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/swear.gif wheels off even if they do get the bolts off. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh_2.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh_2.gif

bravepilot · Apr 19, 2005

Is everyone so sure that they are stolen? Maybe it's just another new optional extra money making thing from Audi. £1,000 for a full set of wheels! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif
