Hi I should probably have been a bit more specific with my original post, Has anyone else suffered from having their ZR's Fog-lights and surrounds nicked and how can it be prevented from happening (for the third time) whilst still allowing bulb changes etc., one wag suggested aralditing them in.

Thanks again

Hello there. Couple of suggestions for what they're worth. First is a trick we used to used to stop our Hilux tail lights getting pinched, which is to fill the screw heads (philips in this case, not sure on the MG) with solder. Then, when you need to get access for bulbs etc, simply put your soldering iron on the screw head for a bit, then the solder will just drop out (make sure you have something to catch it on though. Like I say I am not too familiar with the MG's setup so I'll leave to you to judge how effective this might be.

The second is to simply change the fixing method, ie, changing philips screws to Torx (less likely to be carrying Torx if an opportunist) or changing the fixing size.

Failing that, wire the screw to the battery wink
