An odd occurence
I’ve owned my 2006 D3 TDV6 S for about six months now and joined this forum when I bought it. This is my first post as use of the search function has answered all the questions I’ve had so far in my quest to drag it back from the brink!
I park it on the drive in what is a quiet area of town but the other night both front wheel arch trims were ripped off (the three plastic fixings to the wheel arches are still there) and taken.
I can’t work out why.
Simple vandalism? But why would a vandal take them? Were they after the cat? If so they were well off course. We’re they after the headlights? The trims don’t affect access to the headlights.
Anybody got any idea why some scrotes would do this?
What’s my best option for replacing them - I’ve had a good trawl through the bits for sale and can’t find any.
Cheers,
Colin

Thanks for your thoughts.
They took them away with them so I agree that they probably either want them themselves or to sell on eBay.
The thing that bugs me is that they’ve snapped off the three plastic fixings on both sides so they are of limited use to anyone.
I don’t think I’ll replace them anytime soon as I’ve got bigger D3 issues to spend my money on in the short term!
