car alarms?

Post by corsa sport 3 »

hi all. my car has become a targets for all the neds round my area. they have keyed it smashed 2 windows and nicked my sound system. they are lucky i haven't caught them. i have replaced the 2 windows and bought a cheap CD player. i don't have a lot of money after that for an alarm but came across this. can anyone tell me if it is any good http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sniper-Easy-Fit-D ... 286.c0.m14

For £20 I wouldn't bother!

I'd spend the most you can afford, and then some! If it were my car, I'd buy the best alarm I could! Spend like £200 on a high end one and have it professionally fitted.

well my plan was to buy this so it had some sort of protection till i could afford for a better one. i was planning on getting a clifford alarm for it but cause this has happened i just want to get something to deter them from doing it again

me i'd buy 1of those cheap cctv cameras and point it at the car, then if they cum back u know who it is and go and kick the poo out of them, which shud deter them, failing that i've got a sterlin toad (i think ?)alarm which was in the car wen a got it but i aint had any problems yet.
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!

i would do that but i live in a council flat and i can only park where ever there is space when i come home so the car isn't at the place every time. there are garages round the back and i have been on the waiting list for 2 years and still not got one even with phoning every month to see what my chances are of getting one yet
