Nahh :l
Gonna have to accept the old fines, and try talk my way out of them etc.
I really dont wanna drill my bumper.
Although, Im sure I saw on eBay once, just a 501 type bulb, that you stick onto your number plate, its got a tiny battery inside that last ages or something.

Why doesn't your drivers door line up properly? Will look better with decent wheels on.

Common fault on 206 with the doors not lining up 100%. Just needs the hinges adjusted slightly. I'll have front banded wheels soon

I know the coincidences of everything that I’ve done bodywork wise. And I’ll be the one accepting responsibility. I’m not have ago at you in anyway, but this place is always extremely quick is blabber crap about police this police that.
I’ve had these French plates for more than a year.
I’ve had no front number plate for 7 months
I’ve been pulled over twice, which both times were regarding speeding.
And the police officers just mentioned,
POLICE: “why don’t you have a front number plate? These plates are not legal by the way!”
ME: “The number plate literally came off today, I’ve just bought some number plate sticky things from Halfords see, *show police man packet of number plate sticky thingy”
POLICE: Well you’re going to have to get these changed to normal plates, and get the front number plate on ASAP”
ME: “Yeah of course, that’s no problem”

Lol... it's easy to put bits on and take them off again for an MOT. Temporary popper for the door, temporary rear light stuck by the plate.
Think you're going a bit overboard there tbh.

well im just saying how i believe the law to be and IIRC manual entry has to be like a handle and not a solonoid system such as a popper but i may be wrong
as you cna probably tell i like modified cars but i also like them to be road legal all of the time

This is the part of the MOT for the doors....
MOT reason for rejection
A driver’s or front passenger’s door cannot be opened from both inside and outside the vehicle from the relevant control in each case
