Look harder!

I'm guessing it's got something to do with where the parking ticket is placed - you were told that should be stuck the window and not placed on the dash?

Either that or you are very anti-litter and you can't abide people dropping gum on the pavement?

Funfair

it has a Tipp head band hanging on the mirror which might Prove the owner is a cnut :D only joking!!

Is it the fact the car is parked over the white line and you have a clamp saying so on the drivers side?

Someone was too cheap to specify the Alloys on an early MKVI Golf Comfortline?

Alun

Tie-wraps around the spokes of what look like alloys?

EDIT: someone beat me to it!

He couldn't have. Clamping is illegal. My guess is the rims are wrong for the model of motor or something.

Its nothing to do with litter/where its parked/how its parked/parking ticket/ins disc/tax disc etc etc.

No matter how badly I took the picture if you concentrate enough someone should get it.

Crasp

Correct my good man!

Its a 10 reg golf and on all four ALLOYS are cable ties

Must belong to someone who never had alloys before!

It made me lol so I said I'd post it up here.

drBill

Is positioned too far back, and rear is protruding into the space behind?

(Although if so, this may be because there was no space to move further forward when it was originally parked.)

si_guru

The guy bought a Golf when we all know he should have bought an OCTAVIA!

They are hubcaps, I was in a VW garage just after the Mk6 Golf came out and saw one with them on.

They're the best disguised hubcabs I've ever seen. The black steel wheels behind them are 5 spoke too.

As I pointed out earlier in the thread, can I congratulate you on a FAIL

They are not Alloy wheels (but they are fairly good), they are composite Alloys which are actually wheel covers. Opel use the same thing on the Insigina SC.

I went out and looked and I can say 110% they are alloys. Also if you look at the front wheel in the picture you can see the brake disk and caliper. Something you don't if there were steels behind hubcaps.

Vauxhall had them on Astra and Vectra... "structure" wheels or something.

http://www.carpages.co.uk/vauxhall/vauxhall-vectra-27-08-05.asp

... to be pedantic the wheels are alloy anyway. Covers or not.

There was a thread about this on pistonheads a while back

Cheers for the info....never knew that but going by the piece the wheel bolts hold the cover on so no need for the cable ties.

Did you tap them with your finger nail? Look very convincing, but 100% they are trims and not Alloys.

Padraig Mor

can confirm they're hub caps. Girl at work has them. Thought they were alloys too first time I saw them.

Atomic Pineapple

So the real thing thats wrong is that its a five door then?

mickdw

Damn. so I figure I got the right answer wrong or the wrong answer right or?

They are very convincing. Even the way the valve is coming out of the rim. I would never have thought they were alloys..

Could it be the handbag on the passenger seat ?? begging for the window to be smashed

Juwwi

Is it the parking ticket is out by 14 minutes?

Mycroft H

A friend for the north has a new vectra with them and there very convincing and there secured on by the wheel bolts so........

why the need for the cable ties ?

10-10-20

Eh - is it parked more than 50cm from the kerb...?

...did I win?

--Kaiser--

You think that's bad, my friend sold his car a while ago. The new owner rang him up saying he couldn't get the wheel off. My friend knew the guy so he went over to help.....

Turned out the guy had been removing the fake wheel nut from the hub cap to try to take the wheel off.....not only that but he managed to get three of the fake nuts off

The rosary beads hanging from the mirror could cause a distraction for the driver?

I therfore presume the clampers have reasonable excuse or legal authority ?

No, funnily enough. That would be for a court to decide. Not the clamper.

Probably why they charge €80 to remove them
