That sounds good. One off smart devices like that are your best option. Did you make it?

i always have and use that # '3)' lock that macoVL mentioned. ive had no break-ins so im hoping thats because they look at that and change their mind haha. but yeah the T-bar top would rip off pretty easily i suppose if they really wanted the car.

racing style bonnet with the 2 clips that lets you pad lock em. take out a fuse and unplug a spark lead. and a clublock as a detterant inside. But hey not worth all that trouble if ya leave ur car running outisde the corner shop to grab some smokes and someone pinches it

errrr, buy an alarm. Cause eveytime someone posts on here saying there VL got stolen they didn't have one. Alarm/clublock/solex. Sure, it won't stop them using a tilt try or somthing like that but at least it makes it a little hard for a smple joy rider to take off with it.

for 200 bux from autobarn u can get urself a vision alarm or immobilizer installed, immobilizer cuts off starter motor and fuel pump. They all have very bright flashing lights which are gr8 as a deterrant, this and a club lock between the stick and the handbrake will do fine, and if u park in a bad (risky) place just take out ur main ignition lead and hide it in ur air box, or just take out ur ignition fuse, it's small enough to take with you just dont lose it, lol

its been said b4 and ill say it again taking the igntion fuse out wont do ****, as its too easy to just pull one out thats 4 something like A/C AUX fan or radio and use that. sif a thieve is gonna be detered by one fuse. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
