Because the original V6 catalytic convertor is worth around £400 scrap is the answer.
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.
