Whoa!!!! stop the bus - what's that magnetic plate all about?

Send me the details/method... genius!

i was thinking about the magnetic idea when i was in my "plate switching" days. Have you got some soft stuff on the underside of the plate to stop scratches to that lovely grill?

Thanks for all the kind comments chaps.

The magnet mod is really cheap, i bought some metal plates for it but did not realize the would be alloy

So you could do it with the plastic ones as all i had to do was stick half of the magnets to the back of the plate.

@ JPC I bought some adhesive backed felt from a hobby shop, and stuck it to it, to avoid scratches. Not to sure how long it will last outside but it only costs pennies.
The only problem is if say for example you took your plates off for pics at one location and forgot to put it back on and drove off some where else and had to drive the 25 miles back to retrieve your plate. ~~Not that i would be so stupid to do that~~

Your just lucky we dont have a video of your 25 second 1/4 of a mile time. now that would be a you tube classic.

After what seems like i waited 2 years, my new wheels arrived recently, i was waiting for the my KW top mounts to be fitted and the ride height dropped further before i posted pics but i cant tweak the camber with the V2 springs i have on mine as they are to fat, so ride height has to wait for the new springs.

In case you have been living on the moon they are Work VS - XX 19inch 8.5j 45offset. With PS 2 tyres all round.

Not to everyone's taste, but a quality 3 piece split rim pretty light with a anodized dish.
