Just wondering if anyone has any experience of fitting a disclok to a WR1?
I'm thinking of getting one when I get a car as a bit of added security and a visual deterrent.
Are they worth bothering with? if so what size is required for the WR1 steering wheel?
Thanks

I think the small fits OK, I'll check which one I bought tomorrow as its in garage.
I always used one, its a good visual thing, just makes things more difficult for them.

Yep, can confirm that the SMALL one is the one to go with.
I never leave home without one having had my Civic Type R stolen from home few years back.
You'll think.... what a pain in the arse to start with but soon it becomes 2nd nature and easier to put on and take off again.

Yes, true but put the deterant there and maybe they'll look for a different car to pick on.
Mine's there as part of a series of anti-theft deterants.

If yours and mine were together and mine has the disc lock fitted and yours does not they will have yours simple, deterants like these put scum thiefs off, better than an alarm IMO

Got mine and fitted it tonight, easier to put on and take off than I imagined it would be. Glad I got one for a bit of extra peace of mind

Good lad ! Just be careful when picking it up. Don't trust the velcro to hold the 2 halves together. You don't want it seperating and dropping on your car as it's bloody heavy ! So...... carry with care.
