Any how after a slow start trying the over lays rather than be defeated i decided to sort the front out. so to fit were
Zun sport Lower grill
Zun sport Upper Grill
Bason R front lip spoiler
R205 fender badges
Red piping on grill
Carbon wrap the silver part of the grill
Smaller front number plate
STI metal badge
Removed the whole front bumper to make it all easier (removal is a piece of cake) took a look at a video on YouTube then off I went and in my opinion it looks a million times better, Had one small mishap with the STI logo on the grill as I broke the clips on the back trying to get the metal clamps off but decided to refit it over the zun sport logo and I think its worked out for the better.
Anyhow here it was before
and now with all the changes!

Where did you get your plate made ?? The mods look great..a nice clean car
Came from the state's mate go on eBay.com and search v limited 2 or the one I got was a bason r think it was around 60-70 plus 30 shipping and then you will get stung for importing tax which was 14 quid. Much cheaper than sourcing something here
Have had my 3/4 plate on for about 6 years and got my first pull on it a few weeks back, £60, lovely, and annoying thing was that if it was missing altogether I would have got a producer!!
Have ordered a full size plate that I will cut down, may even end up shorter than current one!

The OE batteries are ****!
I was so fed up with having to put my CTEK on just to get through the weekend of not being used.
I fitted a Bosch S5, which only cost me £49 from Costco Cardiff.
It's been fitted coming up to 2 years & I have just left it 18 days & it started like a dream, no slow cranking AT ALL
Is MesaSat working as normal yet?? Mine has been knackered for a while now, with no useful info or updates from Octotelematics!!!!!

The British Standard also requires each number plate to be permanently and legibly marked with the following information:
- The British Standard number (currently BS AU 145d)
- The name, trademark or other means of identification of the manufacturer or component supplier (The company that made the plate)
- Name and postcode of the supplying outlet.

number plate age is pre number plate rulings 
as it gets swapped off all my previous cars... going back to 1991 when I first got the private plate.
it's still has BS number on it
and is no problem at MOT either.

It's not the age of the plate but the age of the vehicle it's on that dictates the ruling. For example, it's illegal to have silver digits on a black background - even if the plate is old enough to be legal in this format - unless the vehicle it's going on is pre Jan '73.

I'll wait to get pulled then lol
Just been reading the current regs on www.direct.gov.uk.
For any vehicle registered after September 2001 the number plate must be permanently and legibly marked with:
1 - the British Standard number (currently BS AU 145d)
2 - the name, trademark or other means of identification of the manufacturer or component supplier
3 - the name and postcode of the supplying outlet.
I wouldn't be overly concerned mate, your's isn't taking the **** in size which is what inevitably gets you tugged.
