Cor, been splashing the cash mate. Some top little and large mods there. Does it drive completely different to when you bought it? Mine's not changed apart from slightly better braking

Did you consider putting the plate in your dash/windscreen with tape or something and placing the rear one in your tailgate window? I've always considered that purely for cosmetics, but at least you had a proper reason for moving yours

Afraid it is illegal to do that mate.

Thought as much Al. I've never actually put any effort into it other than the thought, cause it looks smarter (obviously). I must admit I thought as long as its on show then you abide by the law, but clearly not

I expect it states that the plate must be mounted on the front bumper somewhere, like the Alfa 156's and Teg' Type-Rs have the square number plate a bit further round as opposed to elsewhere convenient.

Doesn't sound too bad. The vinyl looks good.

Looking good that - a couple of questions - where is your ashtray cover , the one in the console below the radio , my car has a cover there? and where did you get the FAST sticker , that looks quite good as well.
