I'm torn. We pick the wife's new beetle sport up on the 1st, it's already booked in at ABT to have their exhaust and rear diffuser done and thought that the rounded edges go the gel resin might suit the car better than pressed.

I see no British Standard Kite Mark anywhere. Isn't that a legal requirement for a plate these days?
