Unfortunately there is a couple bad bits on the spoiler which i didn't notice when i picked it up. But i will get them tarted up later as i have a touch-up pen!

Certainly looks a lot better! :)

As a friendly note I'd keep the original plates in your boot, just in case you get pulled as those aren't road legal :(

When you clean it - I'm sure it'll look better !

As for the plates .... nothing wrong with them from a road legal point of view .... or am I missing something ?

well to be legal it needs to have the post code and the company who made them at the bottom, the bsau stamp on the right hand side down the bottom and the only thing your meant to be aloud on the left hand side is a euro flag thing, but yeah, doubt any policeman would pull you for it, text looks very slightly different perhaps but not suffieciant to get a pull id say

spoiler looks great thall touch in fine:)

Fairly sure - although traffic was never my strong-point - that all that stuff is for passing the MOT and not actually a traffic offence. All the cops would be interested in I reckon - is the spacing, size and style of the actual numbers and letters.

Back in the day - I used to give a tug to cars which didn't have garages details on the rear plate as it was a possible indicator of a ringer, but that was only a starter for 10 - never anything to get rattled about.

It is the MG logo on the plates that is illegal. But as the fonts are standard then you will very unlucky to get pulled by the police. There are alot more worse plates out there.

Pretty much bang on, but missed out the MG watermark in the background..

As said above though, it would be a petty traffic officer to pull you just for that.. Even if you did get pulled, they'd just give you a warning:locked:

i think if you where to get done for them, you woulda had to have done somthing else really bad they couldnt do you for so theyde do you for things like that instead, as you said though they would have to have had a bad day, like the police man who did the guy who blew his nose and another guy for dropping a tenner as littering lol.

Thanks for all the good comments! I really like the old-girl now!! Can't wait for the next meet we can get to! Still got the catch tank to put in, so still bits and pieces needing doing!!

Has anyone seen or does anyone have any ideas where i can get these from?

Looks really nice and stealthy now Chris, I wouldn't worry about the number plates, just keep the olds one's for the MoT, my one pasted in March and hasn't got the company name of where it came from or the british standard stamp! :clap:

Thanks Will! Tracey's not too happy now!! LoL, she doesn't really want me having these!! But i think they'd compliment the car!!

No probs mate, they appear to be a Land Rover item?

As for the plates, I wouldn't worry either... If you're unlucky enough to get pulled because of them then they'll only be using it as an excuse to check the car out - and it's legal everywhere else so no need to worries! :)

How do you tint the rear lights like that? Or do you have to buy them like that?

I'd like mine to look like that!

I bought them like it but you can tint them yourself!

Here's a link to some on e-bay! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ROVER-45-400-MG-ZS-SMOKED-BLACK-MIRROR-REAR-LIGHTS_W0QQitemZ150416758504QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_ CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item23058996e8 #ht_500wt_956

Looks very nice indeed. You would be seriously unlucky to get done for those plates, most officers wouldn't notice and the ones that did would have to be very bored to ticket you for it!

I was pulled twice because of my number plates on the Prelude, hence the friendly warning :(

Although the second time the young PC just wanted to look at the car, and used the plates as an excuse! :)
