Non standard font, you stand a real chance of being stopped and fined.

That looks awesome... Only criticism is all clear rears and colour coded drums.   :sick:

Hi, will post pics of the interior when it is finished. if i get stopped for the plates i will just swap them back with the standard ones, for a bit. although stereotypically tinted or black rear lights would work, i went for the clears to go with the crystal fronts, i reckon it works ok.

I love that, looks awesome. Dont be a dick and change your plate, its not like you blend in with a 25 year old bright orange convertible is it. I like the orange drums but the rear lights should be standard
