The chap at the garage who MOTd my car on Friday was telling me they had replaced the original convertors on a few cars to aftermarket ones instead of fitting new flexi joints, as the originals were worth as much and sometimes more than the car itself.
So if a replacement part costs £150 and the original faulty part can be sold for recovery for £400, it doesn't take a genius to see why thieves might target our cars.
For me, no badges and a bolted on undertray to at least make life a little more difficult for the scumbags.

Had the cat stolen off my V6 some time back. Managed to get a good second hand front pipe with OEM cat on as the aftermarket one are just cheap ones.
Unfortunately, the undertray doesn't go far enough back to protect it and they put a jack under the sill to lift the car to get at it.
