bi9bal,

HE was recommended from this site so think is on the level,
sends you a blank scan paper vin for you to fill in,
looks propper,
hope he replies soon as will be getting a visit, as Ł35, is Ł35. to me.
when you are ignored makes you suspicious,

just noticed this thread as i said in the email dave very sorry for the wait and there on route to u now.Does not allways take this long but small orders at a place that takes massive orders is sorta back of the pile it seems they normally sell like 1000 of tags for all diff thigs.Anyway i think ul find there worth the wait quality is absolutly spot on, ul find my tags on many a concours car so there uber bling trust me lol


And lol at ringing cars i dont think so i dispose of all info in the aproriate manner
