And if the police are anything like the ones around here, they see plates like yours as a "nice little earner" with a fine of £60 each time ...
Why bother trying to catch burglars and the like when there are easy to pick on motorists who come to them if they wait ...

No I actually find it much better although I do have very bright interior lights so it wouldn't bother me but honestly I prefer it looks much more up to date

haha good to know I'm not the only one then, mine only passed cause its family and I showed him the original ones he's not stupid and knows even if I put them on they would be changed as soon as I drove out
Yeah I love the colour too but need to think what other parts are going that colour dunno wether to do wheels and roof or just calipers and the wheels and roof matte black?

Now if you had chrome edging around the letters like my friend it would be a different story. Police asked him to sit in their car and look at what happened when their camera showed his reg plate on screen, the reflection blanked out the lettering!
I like the painted rocker cover, just be careful not to drive through deep puddles

What's the opinions on roof and wheels and caliper colours? I was thinking matte black roof and wheels and Verde scandal calipers or do I go with Verde scandal roof and wheels with black calipers? Or any other options throw em out there need ideas and opinions
