Re: parts stolen off my mini
im just in kimmage. i highly doubt they were stolen to be sold id say someone wanted them for their own car its so annoying cant believe someone would do that. i havent started the car since and it looks like the wires were cut, will this effect the overall electrics/ running? its an spi by the way

That is just awful. I'd have been furious
All generalizations are false, including this one.

It shouldn't do. If the wire touch it could blow a fuse though, best mask up the wires individuly just to be on the safe sidescottser32 wrote:will this effect the overall electrics/ running? its an spi by the way

Re: parts stolen off my mini
Sounds like someone lookin for parts for a front crash repair. The indicator wires are part of the main loom ,you'll just have to extend them a bit . The headlights are a small seperate loom from the headlight to the center of the grille, should be easy to pick up seconhand.

Re: parts stolen off my mini
thats horrible!
It may sound very judging or stereotypical, but i have noticed a few "rough" looking lads driving minis lately.
Alot of the lads who used to drive jap cars seem to be buying them now, parts are cheap, they're easily tuned and parts are easy to rob for them.
Theft is big in the JDM scene, its started to get bigger in the VAG scene and now its hitting us.
