Cool TIME TO GO LEGAL

After getting a lot of attention from our friends in the Police force i thought it was time to get a legal number plate done within the Import car laws.
BEFORE (illegal)


After (legal)


Should keep them happy

And before some of you say...........Yes it is wonkey. Dad done the drilling

Nice one Not too much difference in the size either !! Shame that it caused a lot of Police interest for you, I wish the same level of interest had caught the Numptys who caused £500 damage while trying to steal my old Sti !!!

Looks nice mate, not too big.
Its always the same isnt it. Had my old car broken into and a bout a year later my garden shed done. They could barely be bother to pick up a pen to record it.
But I had a lovely letter last week informing me there was a warrant out for my arrest because I hadnt taxed a car I sold three years ago

It sounds even more ridiculous when you look at the actual offence. I am going to be arrested for not paying a fine for not attending court for not taxing a car that I didnt own!
Cant fault the British legal system. No doubt if I'd stolen the car in question I had been let off by now,

You mean you do have a front number plate

Most probably Calvin's been pulled by the rozzers more than you , but at least your letter sizing is not illegal, it is just not there.

Just wish I could get a smaller legal front plate for my UK car as I am sure due to the size of it that it is slowing the car down.
