The exact same thing happened in my Active sport. The bottom right hole, when you put the keys in it didn't release the clip.

All I did was push harder and pull and pull, it came eventually. I dunno how these theives pull them out so easily, took me and my bro 15 mins to get mine out. And 10 mins to get the new one in

Re: ANy ideas

I will lower it when i can afford to, i have the new alloys which i will put on when i pass my test haha and finally im still not sure about tinting because with white alloys i think the contrast of light and dark wont look quite right thanks for the ideas


more opinions welcome

Re: ANy ideas

awesome mate!! Make sure you declare your mods! I phoned up my insurance company and they don't allow any mods. and I don't want to leave them because I'm only paying £500 on my own policy! so I'm going to wait a while before modding the car. But I've heard that Sporting alloys don't make your premiums go up because they are an optional extra with the car! I'm not sure how true this is though so I'm going to look into it!

They will make it go up still, how much is insurance company dependent tbh.
