Looks well Simon. I've just done the same thing. Had a private reg for my birthday. Short plates made up and used the double sided suckers. Only problem I had was they wouldn't stay on the back of the plate. Fell off within 5 mins of being on. Little spot of super glue to stick them to the plate then suckered on the front. Seems to be holding up ok now  :happy2:

Hi guys, sorry for lack of updates recently, and not a great one to come with...

Been sorting things out to sell the car  :sad1:

In the process of getting the private plate removed and then will get an advert up in the next few weeks.

In the meantime if anyone is interested in buying or know somebody feel free to PM or contact me (07507782935).

Is a lovely example and will be sadly missed.

Sad times, although its a superb example and I doubt it'll be around for long when it does come time to sell.

Best of luck with the new motor.
