Anyone had or knows of anyone who has had their front bumper pinched?
My mate sold his ST due to this.
After the first time he superglued it and cable tied it on but they still managed to get it off.
Any ideas on how to secure it??

I had mine pinched a few months back - bloody expensive job to get a new one too!! Got a new one but made a decision that if anything else happened to my car - bumpers, spoiler etc i would get rid. Just not worth the hassle. Already been looking around at cars as ever since it happened i just constantly worried when i park it anywhere that isnt 100% CCTV covered.

I really want to get an ST body kit fitted to my car, but im having second thaughts now, i wouldnt want to pay all that money for one, so some theveing little scum bags can pinch it.

I don't think its wise to really talk about security methods on a public forum but perhaps making the bumper unique like spraying it different colours might make the theif think twice because it will be easily identifyable and harder to sell.

You'll find it on ebay if it goes missing.

like: http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....eedbackAsSeller

Check the feedback...
"would avoid! bumper no good ripped off car !!lugs mtgs broken etc.. poor comms!!"

This guys a bloody jester also:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/fiesta-st-zetec-s-...=item3360a82819

"item normally fitted using tigerseal or sticky back plastic , it isnt common to use bolts to screw the spoiler on because if your spoiler gets pinched it will damage the back partin of the car."
