Nightmare mate...it comletly pi55es me off when somethings gets nicked off the car!! To me it's not really the price of what was stole it was the fact that they were such cheapskates that they wouldn't just go buy the damn things themselves for the simple price they are!!!! Lately I seem to get the valve caps stole which are only a few pounds like not a big deal really but it is still the principle of the whole thing but I have had the fog grills taken before I got the LCR kit on...thankfully there's not many LCR's about my area but there was loads of standard Leons!

As in your case a towing eye and splitter won't be too much to replace thankfully - I know the splitter is around 19 pounds or so. Seat dealer will sort you out with part numbers no problem but I think there is a parts list as sticky on the site here which could be useful. Sad that it is obviously another LCR owner that robbed you and when you think 25 pounds or so would have sorted them out instead they had to act like a low life scumbag!!

Sorry to hear of your misfortune

I`am from Glasgow too and luckily your far more likely to be stabbed to hell than have anything pinched from your motor! :-o

When i fitted my splitter, i used robertson(square) head self tappers just incase any light fingered bandito trys to nick mine.

Dave, i`d agree that fleabay is cheaper for many parts, but my splitter was only around £18 from the local stealer. ;)

Sorry to hear it mate, totally believable here in Manchester, it's the luck of the draw sometimes and who's passing your car.
Had bits nicked off both my old cars, keyed, kicked dented, allsorts. Sometimes it's just bad luck and can happen anywhere. As you said, it's not the price it's just knowing someone has been tampering with YOUR car, which is an awful feeling
