Your wheel refurb skills have pushed me on, got the 996's out the shred and started the sanding.

Think I've settled on Crackle black faces and barrels now, but still a fan of the Meteor Grey centres aswel

You having gloss black barrels/polished lips then... What colour centres you doing?

haha good man. Good to see I'm inspiring someone

Crackle black will look awesome man, will be a bitch to keep clean though lol.

I'm going for Audi Daytona grey! Barrels I went for black, because they're hardy seen, and black will hide most of the dirt lol

Its going to look great

When are your wheels going on?

you got one fab bora there mate! nice ride and all the mods looks sexy as well!

Thanks man, appreciate it

 

[abhardwaj1990]

God I miss the car Only been without it 4 days lol

Should be back soon though! In the mean time, got my new show plates and shortened pressed plates. Also got my new camera Time for better quality shoots

And got some of this

 

[drka-drka]

Ahh new plates talk to me man!! I'm really needing some nice plates for the shows

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Got them from Plate my ride, in Germany! Couldn't find anyone in the UK that made shortened pressed plates. Price was ok, but the service was great, at first they printed my plate in US font instead of UK, told them, and got a new plate within 4-5 days

I know it's illegal, but I'm not that bothered, better this than no plate lol! Attaching it with magnets so can take it on and off whenever

INTERESTED!!! Tell us if/when they fall off. Never seen that done before....

I wouldnt worry about the plate, Ive drove around for over 3 years with my pressed plates which were German DIN font so the '0' has a slash in it. Even had a police officer run his finger through the slash bit and nothing was said or done about it.

Got a couple of n42 grade, 25 x 10 x10mm rectangular neodymium magnets for behind the bumper, and then n52 grade (apparently the strongest grade) the same size but 2mm depth for behind the plate so it doesn't protrude too far out.
They look small but they're unbelievably strong, held through an inch of glass when I was playing with them, 6-7mm of plastic bumper shouldn't be an issue.

In the grand scheme of things, there are far worse plates. Might fail an MOT but I doubt you'd be pulled over for it, tbh.

Yeah its not bad compared to what I've seen before. Got normal plates for mot anyway

I'm not worried about being caught at all, I've been running with no plate, or it displayed in the window for 3 months with no problems.

Hahaha! What a lad!

That plate looks class bro!! I reckon you might get a picky copper have a word.. But if you have a legal plate in the boot, they just tell you to stick that on or something.. IF you ever get pulled that is..
Just tell them its your unique signiture on a peice of art.. Or just tell him to fúck off!!

 

[ather`s]

letters/numbers are the right size so like you say arun, nothing to worry about, only the picky of old bill will question them! look fab. ive had plates of them before and they are very good. get a pic up when its on and well done on the voting/stand thingy by the way!

 

[LMJ]

The spacing's a legal requirement too iirc Phil? Y(space)7(space)(space)R(space)P(space)B

...Regardless, I love the place Arun

I should be ok, most coppers that have stopped me before are sound. But yeah as you say, will be keeping a spare one in the boot.

The plate would be illegal because it doesn't have the manufacturers name and postcode printed at the bottom, and as Lily says, should have a space between Y7 and RPB

Cheers man, nailed it

You going UD?

Yep. Cheers brah, it's ok I suppose



Just realised, this thread is 52 pages long haha, and only about 5-10 pages are about the car

 

[abhardwaj1990]

Suck my balls.


Good point. Didn't actually think of that haha. You're not as stupid as you look

 

[James23Parkin]

The plates look great, as said above. I bought some pressed plates last year, but haven't fitted them. The most amount of letters/numbers they could fit on a 3/4 sized plate was six. Would love a 3/4 length pressed plate on the front; enough to justify private plates ...hahah.

Look forward to seeing them on the car

 

[Jordanwaterhous]

When I had my germ plates on I had my legal (albeit trimmed so illegal) in the boot armed with the line 'oh sorry I was just taking some photos and forgot to change the plates back'

Never gut pulled though before I changed them back to British presses plates.

Car is absolutely stunning, it looked wicked at Santa pod in October and now it's just

Love the US bumper and those barrels have come up extremely well, looks very professional and it was done with a rattle cat!

Hats off to you sir! Fantastic work

Thats a shout!!

I've also heard of having cable ties through your front grille and a spare front in the boot. Then if you get pulled say it must have fallen off I'll put the spare on.

Don't think I'll get pulled round here tbh, I know plenty of people that don't run plates. I've got plenty of excuses for them

Cheers man, I take it you were on the IOC stand?
