    Nah - not illegal unless you remove the door handles. I recommend you leave the drivers lock though - batteries go flat & shitte happens and then the only way in will be thru a window

    the easiet way is to break a window. You need to have a way to get in from the outside i.e. door lock. you can have just one door lock though. You'd be stuffed if the batttery went flat and you couldn't get in

    Removing the locks doesn't do a thing. Last time my bros car was broken into, the window was smashed. Theifs don't care. They'll just break the window if they want in.

    If you want to have this, and remove all the locks you can, but what you'll have to do is relocate the battery to the boot so if it does go flat you've got a key to replace it

    Yeah I was told you need atleast one door with a lock?? Some reason legal like getting into it or something (not sure - just what I was told) but I was thinking if I did that I'd still keep the back door of the wagons lock...so I'd just jump through the back.

    lol, and so would the crims. IN ANY CASE, if som1 wants in, they'll smash a window. If ya wanna go to great lengths ya can get reinforced galss for your windows. They'll try all they want but they wont break IN (but the glass works so u can smash it to get OUT). I also think that if ya install a flashing LED, use a steering lock, and intsall an aftermarket alarm system... when a theif looks at your car and then the shitty f*rd landbardge next to it, he'll take the paperweight anyday. lol

    removing the door locks would b alot harder for crims 2 break in2 a vk. every1 noes all you have to do is get a flat head, dig around the lock and bang, it pops out and all u hav 2 do is giv it a little turn n there u have it, you cars now unlocked. if the thief was 2 smash a window, SOMEONE would b bound 2 hear it and i always park my car in busy, public places

    If you were half smart, you'd add an alarm to it. That's the first thing I did to my car.

    Should look quite interesting, i have always thought that if the chrome is all nice and polished it never takes second place to any other. So it'll be good to see how a early commo looks without it.

    no the easiest way to get into a car is with a slimjim (metal ruler with hook cut into the end)(and i know this because towtruck srivers have them and coppersuse them. My mate john is a towtruck driver and my aunty sue it a copper)
