SI ST - I think Evans Halshaw's body shop wanted around £600 for the whole repair & fit spoiler job, but if I remember correctly it was £200 to £300 for just the damage repair.
I might fit a smaller one, as the car looks a bit crappy without something on the back!
Oh Stu - we had all four wheel caps nicked a few months later. Bl**dy £50 up the spout.....

Damn, I hope its not that much  I've just got one big tint so hopefully they won't charge so much. If my caps go too, they are staying off. I think the Police should be watching ebay a lot closely. Theres one guy on there that has sold 12 center caps off his 58 plate fiesta ST so far.

Si ST, do you have an aftermarket alarm on your car?

No, just the standard rubbish one. Do you think its worthwhile getting one? I'm not sure people take any notice to them these days.
I do get the feeling some of them are stolen expecially the one that says it wasn't fit properly, sounds like it was snapped off and new scew holes glued in.
I'm not going to buy anything that sounds suspicious like that because thats what fuels the problem!

should/could the Forum write to Chief of Police and ask what is being done about EBay, there isn't a day that goes by on here or t'other one that somebody suffers a theft. If both Forums got together and wrote maybe and just a maybe the police might start doing something for us.
Security mark all your bits and place stickers that say so, if you buy anything, check it for markings including ultra violet and return it to it's rightful owner, there are some good Etching kits around now and you can visibly mark your bits with custom lettering as part of the price, some come with stickers some of which can not be removed without a lot of work and hassle.

Yeah could be worth a try, anythings better than nothing! I plan to engrave the next spoiler. They'll probably just sand it off or fill it though.
Looks like the top of the bootlids damaged aswell because of the force the screws must have been pulling at it

yes defo mate. I got so pissed off with people messing with my car, had my centre caps, tyre valve caps, badges, front bumper and my number plates stolen.
Got a clifford 650 with proxy sensors. Set the proximity to the max and if anyone comes with 3 feet of my car the warning goes off. Loud enough to wake anyone up!!!! and i dont care if my neighbours get annoyed with the alarm as the repairs dont come out of their pockets!!!
so far ive had no issues and i live in a very high crime area!
Sorry to hear all the s**t things that's happened to you. Sounds a good idea, how much that would set me back? I gave up with the fancy valve caps after about 2 thefts, now just standard black plastic. I still have my official Ford side stripes in their box because I just know its going to attract the idiots again.
