Hi folks, hope all is well.
Coming from an Abarth, which had no factory security fitted I have learned to be very security focused with my cars.
I picked up my nice 73 plate VZ2 Wednesday and just wondered what others are doing in terms of security. I appreciate that if someone is truly after your car, they will take it but there are ways to make it less attractive. Horrible really, as you want to make yours less attractive so they move on and nick someone else's.
I live in a good area of Birmingham and we are finding insurance companies refusing to offer terms around here, and not just on performance models. Wife struggled getting insurance on her Leon 1.4 TSI FR as some insurance companies wont offer cover regardless due to the B in the postcode.
I have insurance, gap insurance, the old disclock and we even have the bollards on the drive....crazy.
The Abarth owners also used to use OBD locks, as bar the deadlocks there was nothing on the Abarths. Anyone here use an OBD lock of some form?
I understand these cars have a TC approved alarm and immobiliser so that is a good start.
Anyone using ghost / pandora or similar?
Be interesting to hear your thoughts. I am 42 with clean licence and no points so hardly the typical racer type. I have a good long history of sporty / hot hatch cars also.
