look on the brightside.

it saves you having to take them off again when you get stopped by the police

if our car has mot and tax, put the plate on retention - wont need to buy any new plates for a new car then

Have to say they would have looked out of place on your car, too much contrast with the red and the white wheels.

Anyway, onwards and upwards, mk1 is a FAR better project. I am seriusly thinking of chopping the Cossie in for something and considering a mk1 too.
