Ok.......... since i've known i'm puttin gsi skirts on the car i've noticed that every pair ov em i've seen drivin about has had their jacking point covers nicked. Theivin gypsies. So basically i need some ideas to ensure to fekkers gonna rip mine off. £50 a set from vaux, or £40 a set from that other place everyone reccomends < cant remember their name off hand>. So Definately wanna make sure none of em go walkies.

good idea in theory. But maybe when someone actually has their hand on them and realises that they can either let go and pay £50 a set.......or...........Rip even harder

whole skirt might come off.

thinkin about just blending them in. would look better anyway. I dont even have the crappy GM jack anymore, lol. Such hassle.
