Just a change of wheels. Cant think of anything else I would change on a Escos. Might put one of mm's motors in.

Always wanted a black/silver Capri, keep seeing one round here.
Its proper mint too.

You could give this ago,this is how i make my number plates.I go on 'paint' on my pc,you can select the size of letters (i use size 12) then select the colour,draw the outline edge of plate then use colour to do the background,then print off onto normal paper,i then put selotape over the front then use double sided tape to stick the palate onto a piece of thin card then put a piece of double sided tape onto that then place on model.
