    Attempted theft, need bits to fix :(

    So some a**hole thought it would be a good idea to try steal my car while I was at uni the other day , the result being I'm now looking for:

    Rear door handles (any colour)
    Facelift grille (again any colour but hopefully a black one)

    The panel that goes under the dash on the drivers side, around where your knees would be
    The bits that go around the steering wheel column.

    Excess on insurance is ridiculously high so Im trying to keep costs down. Please let me know if you have / know of anything useful!

    Theres a blue legnum at the Hamilton pickapart that might have the interior pieces, although I think it was leather interior so would have the beige panel under the steering wheel.

    Yup I like the beige leather... Why don't you just replace the interior with black one? Is heaps around.

    Thought about it when I was at pickapart but costs a bit when you add up the door cards, sills, glove box, drivers panel, three panels each side and back of the seats.

    If I wasn't going to Gisborne this weekend, probably would over myself and get what I need and pick up my gauges I bought.

    But I do need the front drive side a-pillar panel.

    Ben I think the interior was actually red leather if you fancy that, although I might be getting confused with a legnum up in Auckland...

    If it is red leather, it might be out of a Super VR4????

    But It could be something I would put in mine but would need to have a look myself first.

    Um I might keep looking for a FL grill, I think it might look odd with a PFL grill but thanks for the offer

    Lol all good. That would be awesome if you had a look, frustratingly busy with exams & work at the moment so hardly have time to get around looking for pieces.

    Yeah they smashed the plastic mesh of the grill to pull the bonnet cable and release the latch, busted the door lock/handle and did this to the interior trying to start it.
