As some scrote has taken a liking to my front n/s trim (so much so he cut 2 cableties to purloin it :evil: ) I now am on the lookout for a replacement. (tight bassa, I know :? ) I don't fancy having a pristine newbie showing up the age of the other 3, nor do I fancy shelling out for (a new) one ( I said I was tight :lol: ). So if any of you fine people (and I'm sure some of you are :wink: ) know of a 15" Skoda Octavia '08 model (9 spoke style) trim looking for a new home, I promise to try and look after it better than it's predecessor (3 cableties, at least :wink: ). A small donation to your beer token fund and cost of P+P will be forthcoming if you can help. Thank You.

getting one locally is proving a tad difficult. not unless same scrote fancies getting one for me, and dropping it off anonymously (he knows where I park the car after all :p )

Tried the local scrapyard? They usually have a big pile of them.

being a tight git, I may just do that. They should command a premium price due to scarcity. :lol:

Put a mark on them that you can see and on the reverse then if a scoot knocks them you can spot them on the rank
