Looks great. :twisted:

What sort of cover is that over the lights?

Number plate spoils mine...... what is the law about front plates?

Can I have a small front plate? Can the number be on the bonnet?

Hi mate
They are Wade headlight covers, Their really good quality tho they do block out alot of light so driving on country roads at night can be a nightmare.
I think the law is, you gotta have a front number plate unless theres no possible place to mount one, like a bike or that atom kit car thing.
As for having a smaller plate it kinda depends on the mood of the copper, My brother has a small plate on his trans am and the police havnt mentioned it when his been pulled.
Anyway i shall be putting a small one on mine :)
I might try and get hold of some of those covers. Are they easy fix/remove?

The number plate on my car looks shocking. Here is a picture without..........

Yeah, they use plastic clips which hold them in place and the covers are actually held by strong velcro so can be removed easly. I actually screwed mine down as no matter how strong they say it is im not sure if i trust velcro at 100+mph lol.
Pics didnt come out mate.

Gotta have big stopping power if you've got a big engine. Something alot of people forget though is to renew brake fluid for a big increase in stopping power. It only takes a few years before moisture ends up in the fluid and then the best discs and pads in the world won't make the difference they should.

It's a bitch of job though. Does anyone use these new 1-man bleed kits or still the little rubber pipe in a jam jar ?
