Missing part!!!!!!!!

[Kuniva]

Just had some new tyres fitted to my 53 Leon. Walking away from the car today I noticed I am missing a small square insert from the bottom right skirt of the car. Would the tyre company need to remove this to get the car jacked up or do you think I have lost it while driving. Thing costs around £80 to replace, seems ridiculous. Advise please!!!!!

They would have needed to remove that to get the car jacked... at least if it's the one nearest the wheel in question... I doubt it'd fall off driving, aren't they normally held on by a bit of string too??

The tyre company would have removed it to get to the jacking point. If they didn't put it back on properly it might have fallen off whilst driving?

Have you asked the tyre company if they still have it? maybe try getting them to replace it?

...... aren't they normally held on by a bit of string too??

yeah your right, little rubber thing?

I think thats whats happened. What a pain in the arse.

They should still have it knocking around though, surely? Have you called them yet?

 

[Kuniva]

Yep, maintain they dont have it. I reckon they didnt attach it properly and its fallen off. I drive bumpy country roads. Looks well sh*t now. ha ha.

Scrap yard it is then!
