#17: Re: number plates Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Sun Sep 19, 2010 3:17 pm ---- guess i could cut into the splitter....... not sure if i want to tho..... will take a look in daylight tomorrow.
#18: Re: number plates Author: E5GDM, Location: EssexPosted: Sun Sep 19, 2010 3:22 pm ---- paint or put a thin stripe on the edge(s) of the legal plate to blend it in a bit better.
#19: Re: number plates Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Sun Sep 19, 2010 3:29 pm ---- probs some brackets and angle it tbh.
