Alfa boot badge ripped off and nail in my tyre!

shakenbake

Yeah, on top a lovely keying incident in the last few months my car had the boot badge ripped off and I came out to find an almost deflated tyre with a nail jammed in its side.

Do I have to get the boot lock casing replaced to get the badge put on again?
Likely cost?

Also, the nail was right in the corner of the wheel and it has turned into a gash as opposed to a stab ... is this a likely tyre replacement?

I park down in BS centre everyday for work. That will be the last time now.

if the hole is in the side of the tyre, it'll need replacing. I too had a badge broken off my 146,

I don't think so, try a breakers yard or Ebay...

on top a lovely keying incident

had the same done to my 156 along the wing and door, and it was only new...twas a neighbour up the road, but I could not prove it...Only consolation I have is, I have moved on. And they are stuck there...
Sad what some people will do, too lazy to get off their a$$ and work, so why should you have it....


What type of Alfa is it??? 156/147??

I never replaced my badge, but as far as I know, it's seperate from the lock.

the badge can be replaced depending on what way/ how they damaged it . its difficult enough to change it would be easier although more expensive to just change the full part

Don't think Skoda badges are cool enough to steal yet!
