Default What a difference number plates make!!!!

Selling my S1 and bought some new number plates with the blue Euro section on as the old plates looked plain and had the previous owners name on them.

Totally transformed the car, looks loads better and the red and grey tinted back lights really stand out now.

Best £12 I ever spent

Also put all my blue piping and chrome bits on that have been sitting the back room forever. it looks so nice I want to keep it

And it gives the car at least 10 more bhp when fitted in conjunction with a dump valve

I always say that about cars and i dunno but it makes them look 'newer' in a way....

U know those black plates, with silver writing i see some people with those on thier cars on the road, how do u get away with it cos i want some or are they illegal and people are just waiting to be pulled?
