Hello all, I have been stalking around on here for a while. I bought by FL2 HSE in December when the snow came down. It's been great and me and my wife really enjoy the car (great for the dogs, my guitars and the baby which is on the way).

Unfortunately last week someone stole the side vents and indicators off of the car during the night.

I have still not replaced them as I think the thieves broke one of the indicators and they may come back for the new one.

This has happened to my wife before with some lights on a Saxo. I can't believe someone did this. I'm sure they were stolen to order as they didn't make a mark on the car.

The passenger side has totally gone including the inner section which holds the vent in place (they unbolted it!), but on the drivers side the inner section in still in place.

I've phoned lots of breakers yards and they don't have this part in, I can get them new and fitted for £130, does that sound ok? Also, if I order the whole vent assembly, will it include the inner section? Is there anywhere else I could get the parts? Ebay has some vents and indicators, but not the inner section.

Thank you

Sorry to here of your loss thieving I don't thing they are bolted on the sort of press and slide off but the replacements can be found a tad cheaper though.

Yes, I saw those parts, the only thing missing would be the 'inner' section on one side. I don't know what it is called but it looks like it's there to keep the vent in place.

Can anyone help with identifying this part?

Thanks in advance.

I dont know if this is of use to you.

Whilst on ebay, check out the CCTV products. There are some wireless units with night vision depending on how much cash you have to throw around.

If anyone on here has seen the film Taken, with Liam Neeson, perhaps these thieves could be disposed of in the same way Neeson disposes of the guy strapped to the chair and wired to the mains.

When my wife's lights got stolen from her saxo years ago it was on CCTV and you could see the person's face... made absolutely no difference. The police went through the routines but nothing ever came from it.

It's annoying as hell.

I've been trying to research the 'inner section' part that is only on one side. My initial thought was that the thieves had taken the drivers side but now I'm thinking that it might never have been there. Could someone check (just by looking through the vents, not dismantling the whole thing) if there is a black part behind the vent on both sides or if it is just on one side?

Thanks

I think the part your after has to do with the air intake,the pipe runs down inside the top of the ns wing from the vent to the airbox.

I've got mine in pieces at the moment so will try and get a picture for you.

rjc123 - I don't know whether you did it when you got the car but most people take off the factory orange side repeaters and replace with white or grey. I still have the orange ones somewhere I took off our car and will post to you in a jiffy bag free of charge. Maybe just keep these on for a month or so to make sure the B s aren't still lurking, then replace if you need to.
PM my your address and I'll do it Monday

I need to fine a LR replacement clear lense as it looks condensated inside on closer inspection it's cracked slightly

Only can think some moppets opened their door on to it, but a cracked lenses is better than a dented wing

Maybe LPR has a set gathering dust in the parts department  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
