Title: Scratch Plate Security ???
Post by: utey on April 01, 2004, 01:59:50 AM
Is it worth fitting the scratch plates to an every day driver, Had a grille badge stolen and thought the plates might be targeted, or am i being paranoid?? Are the plates easy to obtain and what are they worth?
If they are fitted is there any way to make them harder to steal?
as it appears you would be able to prise the of quite easily.
Any thoughts??
Thanks

Nick

Don't park car where they would be stolen  ::)
But really true nasco ones are getting harder to find and I have seen them go for over $200 a set, reproduction units are cheaper. I have had mine fitted for about 5 years now and they haven't been stolen, comes back to first statement thou.
