AndyZ Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Ok, so it was only my valve caps that some T Leaf stole but they cost me £10 and I have only had them a week...It's the inconvenience that P!$$es me off the most and I'm going to the Jap show on Sunday with no caps I even used a spanner to tighten them..

Ekona Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I'd never bother with fancy caps, they always get nicked. Plain black plastic is better than nothing and don't look that bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 i had this with an old car, no problems for ages, then i go and visit some mates in york, and 3 valve caps go missing, i go and see some friends in cov and some scroat snaps off one of my lens protectors, obviously wanted for his own pug, but didn't realise you had to open the bonnet to get them off, really pi**ed me off.

T8 JPE Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 I've got some nice richbrook ones that the outside just turns and turns when u try to remove them. you need a little key to remove them properly. got them from halfrauds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Scumbags - least it wasnt your wheels !!! Ive got the same valve caps but mine bolt on using an extremely small allen key, were yours just screw on ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 a few of us have had this happen, me included. I wouldn't recommended using a spanner anyway. Water gets it and on cheap replica ones they rust. When you come to remove them they split the valve and you have a nice flat tyre. Get some lockable ones from Richbrook. They do some nice ones in Titanium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
