Can't fool you guys.

Brakes are R32 ones already but have another set (Greedy me) that have been painted.

Exhaust is Milltek non Res.

Lowered on Eibach springs by 35mm

Number plates by Fancy Plates

Surrounds from Ed @ APS Also Pad springs are APS if you look close.

Other mods, Eibach ARB's, S3 Arm bushes, Carbon Speed Air intake, Forge DV & APS Re-Map

Should be 300-320BHP

They are illegal then??
What standards to they need to adhere to these days??
I'd be surprised if he got pulled over for them though.

Style was Number 9 I think.

Have had that plate on about 9 cars now. Yes it is illegal but never been pulled and a mate who is a local Copper says I should be ok.

Fact is as long as the ANPR picks it up ok I should be ok.

My Clients like it though I may put it on my van as I am a Home Cinema Installer and am THX qualified. I am lucky I have just been given 600 RRR by a good client and may put that on the car instead.

The law is very strict now. Even to the point of the fact it should have a BS mark on the plate.

sorry to go off topic.........but gadget - where abouts are you based, and what are your rates for a typical A/V installation, such as putting an LCD up on a wall and hiding cables etc behind a plasterboard wall??

PM me, as I may be interested ;)

Now back to topic.........lol

 :grin: Yeh never moves bought it for show.

the plate rather than the cars has done 60,000 miles in 5 years.

Also plate was on R32 which I got 3 points in for speeding and plate not mentioned.

But you are right I have been lucky although spacing isn't illegal and font size is correct only problem is font a the dot.

The old bill around my way would cum in their pants if they saw me in a plate like that ! It would be like Christmas and their birthday all rolled into one.
Title: Re: My Edition 30
Post by: ifti on 08 May 2009, 09:19
Surely the old bill have better things to do, rather then question a license plate!
I mean, the people who use over the top itallics, or strange fonts that you can hardly read - pull them up for sure - but as long as the font is clear and easily readable - who cares!

I agree, the police should have more important things to worry about. Then again I don't understand personalisation of plates in any form anyway, especially font changes and spacing. Its like having a brushed aluminium tax disc holder.

Back on topic... nice ED30 ;)

Old thread revive :D

Sorry guys been away for a while sold the Edition 30 as started a new job and had to have a company car 1.6TDi A3  :sick:

Managed to opt out but needed a people carrier again so got a Touran which I tarted up oh and got nicked for the plate :D

Once daughter was older I ordered myself a MK7 Golf R which I loved but after 18mths realised wasn't big enough so got rid.

March this year got myself a brand new Audi SQ5 which I love and then on Saturday I managed to pick up a nice Carbon Grey MK6 GTi for my wife but for me to play with :D so got a GTi back  :laugh:
