Some subtle mods will set it off.

I'm thinking maybe slam it on 20 inch alloys, hydraulic suspension, tacky ass lexus lights, stickerbomb the hole off the back window :pac:

If I got it for a few hundred i wouldn't say no though haha

Any motor factors man, well most print them anyway.
Some ask for the tax book belonging to the reg mind, so they know you ain't up to no good

Where can you buy number plates anyways?
The plates (the actual sleeve that numbers are printed on) on my girlfriends car are slightly crumpled and look a bit crappy. Nothing fancy required, just some simple legal prints.

SpannerMonkey

depends how new the car is . personally i think metal plates of any kind look god awful on modern cars , on older 90's cars they look great but anything newer than early 2000's they look crap. the acrylic ones look way more natural

Supergurrier

Decided to change the plates from the plastic ones on my focus.

Any suggestions on type ?

I saw an old Renault 5 Gordini yesterday in Spain. Sadly no pictures. Also spotted a new Sssanyoubgggggggg Rodious.

This of all the things I've spotted over here really took the biscuit though

I decided to opt out of driver aids, no more power steering for me.

I remember when my pump went, I had arms the size of trees by the time it was replaced

This is why you get one with paddle shift

You can push even more on those twisty roads when you have 2 feet for 2 pedals, and can shift in less time than it takes to blink.

As I said, lazy.

Scortho

my mam has an automatic ml280.
I found my old manual polo easier to get to 50km/h than hers with 4 times the bhp.
It took all the fun out of driving as well and changed gears when you could push it much further.
