get the other ones, the tighten on the inside n the outside just spins, you tighten them with a sorta key

To be honest, I'd just get a bag of the metal ones from MINI, or some plastic ones. My concern with the anti-theft caps is what happens if a frustrated would-be valve pincher gets upset/frustrated. Your MINI is the first thing they'd vent on.

Being a Swift AND a MINI owner driver I resent all infantile and stupid comments made on here If people haven't got anything nice to say then why say it.

I deplore anyone regardless of what car they drive to go tampering with someone elses car but I don't understand why on this site in particular I seem to read idiotic remarks against Suzuki Swifts and worse there owners.

Makes me wanna sell me MINI

Are u confused about this site!?!?!?
Its a MINI owners site so expect no less!.... of course the good people of this site are going to rant on about other manufacturers of cars that have tried to copy the MINI. Just like If you were a Bentley owner would you not be gutted about chryslers cheap immitation? Im all for the MINI and not for any cheaper copies that have been produced since the realease of it.

Maybe im the only one here that thinks this.... im pretty sure im not!

Who cares, it's been discussed on MINI2 countless times , back to the original thread, then again maybe not

It's low anyone writing on someone elses car regardless of what make they are, I think we all agree on that .

[rec]

oh the joys of forums where people always misinterpret what you say.

if someone wrote **** in my bonnet, i'd just wipe it off and get on with life. not worth worrying about really !

What......with the aerosol hoodies round my parts !!!

[sel]

....back to page one...it was writen in the dirt!!! on the bonnet......not spray!! -so is slightly funny as no real harm done (except to his delicate flower of a wife)

im sure when most of us were small...which was a while ago for me as im 5ft11.... we wrote 'also available in white' or 'clean me' on vans!!
