Good job their not doing what they used to do down our street when I used to live in Louth years ago they used to jump on car bonnets and run on the roof and the boot depending on the car so loads of dented cars down our road back then.

If I did it would explain things, was a time when I knew all the local ruffians and I would of slept like a log back then, but new breeds of addicts and prison regulars are being moved in to the social block of flats end of my rd and it seems the housing scheme now throw in a free Pitt bull with a free flat. Made my mind up getting cctv and enquire about the blackjax system unless there is a better system out there.

Can understand the CCTV thing, mite be an idea, just a shame there are so many idiots around. But I'm sure all will be fine and nothing will happen

delta0 · 26th August 2012, 09:25

If your so worried about unwanted attention just get a car cover. Don't skimp on quality for these because you want one that will not damage paint.

eFlash · 26th August 2012, 09:31

The thing is most people dont know what mugen is let alone that its an actual part for the civic

Think these things cause more attention, because the chav's want ti know what your hiding

delta0 · 26th August 2012, 09:39

The cars around me with these covers don't attract attention. I guess you could put a really low quality dirty one on top of the decent one.

dweezle · 26th August 2012, 09:56

I could understand if i was over reacting but it's happening exactly like I've said, hopefully it will stop after a few days when people get use to seeing it, just a pain seeing people stop and walk around it and getting to close for my liking, I've had the car nearly a yr standard not a problem, but soon as the mugen parts go on it starts so they must know of mugen, my sister came and said it looks like it did before, I think women only see 4 wheels.

deni.babe · 26th August 2012, 10:54

definitely go for the cctv with hard drive , i have a sister in a rough area she's had cctv installed after my clio sport went walkies never to be seen again,when i visit now though i'm constantly watching the monitor its connected to, mine looks know where near as good as yours but still draws attention in the not so good areas.

dweezle · 26th August 2012, 11:11

Shouldn't be like that though no matter what your car is like, people should respect others belongings and leave them be, damage it because there jealous, steal it because they want to drive it, I think these are lowest of the low and deserve everything took off them if convicted (dole,housing,nhs etc etc) they have it to easy these days, once they start earning a wage they will then understand the value of money and respect others.

totally agree

what goes around comes around as they say,.the thing is where ever you take the car its going to draw attention and when you go shopping it will take you half the time it used to take as you will want to rush back to your car,i was well paranoid leaving me car on public car parks the mrs used to curse me as i'd rush off to check lol.

fourthdisciple · 26th August 2012, 11:26

I cant park my car anywhere in my street without the kids playing around it on there bikes and scooters etc ,I have spoken to the parents but they sem to have a very selfish attitude to me and my property ,ive been told I park it at my own risk ,I only started being anxious about leaving it places since fitting the mugen parts before I didnt give leaving my car outside the house a second thought .Im now considering trying to rent a garage from someone .

Could be a saving in the long run mate if it's not going to get damaged. Tbh £40 a month to use a garage isn't too bad, it's about £1.35 a day

cheaper than a car park.

Edit: And your insurance might go down if you tell them it's in a locked garage overnight

as I say im gonna look into it ,The attitude from my neighbours is its my fault for having a nice car .there not going to show respect for there neighbours property by asking there kids not to play round the cars And tell me I park it at my own risk and Ive got to prove it if anything happens to it and they just say claim it on your insurance

jeremiah · 26th August 2012, 11:49

When I see a lambo or Ferrari I also go have a look. Civics aren't that common where I live but when I see a nice modded one I also go near to have a look...

What I'm trying to say, is that most people who give attention to the car are enthousiast themselves and they probably won't damage it.
On the other hand, I'm also always worried when leaving my car alone.
