People steal tow hook covers solely for the reason of upsetting/annoying the owner.

Don't ask me how I know this.

Yes I’m contemplating CF tips this year and this really puts me off as I wouldn’t be happy leaving the car in a car park. The standard M4 tips are a right bastard to take off, it takes about 15 minutes to remove all 4 after you have squirted wd40 into the back of them and let it soak in....very difficult to steal. The carbon tips are just a bolt.

I was thinking of just rounding off the bolts with a file once they are done up. If I ever want to remove them then I would have to cut the strap and replace ot
