Lookin good Nic.... I'd say keep the rims too

Why not put the rear plate elsewhere seen as how the recess is gone?
Frenched into the bumper or a square one in the window?

alright ade!

something very cheap would have to come up to make me change them i rekon.

not really thought about the rear plate, a square 1 in the window sounds like a planor a square plate frenched into the back bumper also sounds good.

Limo tint the rear screen, square plate in the bottom corner that is only visible when you flick a switch for it to be illuminated

Park with the nose against a wall and never worry about parking tickets again

be toying with that idea to, cant leave anything in the back because everbody can see in!

not to sure on illuminated plate though.

all this can wait untill at least the end of next month when i sorted a few things out.

liking the square plate in the bumper idea tho!

Maybe the illuminated disappearing plate idea is me getting a touch carried away
I think a standard shaped plated frenched deep into the bumper would be well cool, but all down to personal taste I guess.

Deffo get it tinted though..... will look cool and y'know it makes sense.

PS, is it the old MK1 Mondeo colour Citrine yellow, or just similar?

Bezo, why didnt you just get a 16i or xr3i inlet instead of hacking that poor rocker cover to bits

Absolutely love this van, colour and wheels, top notch!
Personally i'd leave the plate as is, for me the appeal of it is how clean and simple it is

Ade the colour is Fungle Bee green! its an old colour so Lee@Fusion fabrications tells me, as it was him who turbo'd it and painted it.



PintoPhil i had thought of that but wanted to keep the stock inlet so hacking was the only option, but thats what Pikie Modified Tunning is all about!



Lux_Interior cheers for comments fella!!!
