plate will stay on the shell now as i didnt realise that the car needed to be taxed,motd and insured in the last 6 months to remove the plate,as i had already stripped it the day i collected it this wasnt possible to sort,i tried to get it on retention but the vehicle needs inspected by the dvla,now as iam sure most of you are aware this car has a little bit of history in the form of a reshell in to a motorsport shell,therefore no ford stamped numbers in the shell.
now iam not prepared to lose a shell over a number plate so ive refunded goerdie1 and explained,nothing more i can do and thats the end of it,case closed.

shit,but thats life,next time i know what to do if need to take a plate off a car.
