my new plates!!
« on: 19 May 2007, 19:13 »
Just got my new plates fitted - what do you think folks??





All I need now is some sunshine,  a drive to the lakes and some NICE photos!

Just not sure whether to risk running the plates daily!!!

IMHO, i think they are a bit old hat.  :rolleyes:
Computer games don't affect kids, I mean if Pac Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive music.

yeh you do need a new bumper - BUT you can bodge a new hanger onto the bumper using a bit of steel/aluminium etc...

I think you just need to bend a hook - ? - the fasten to the bumper and hang back on!

As I am going to do!
