I suspect to the average person on the street, an E30 M3 (festooned with assorted spoilers, wings and bulging arches) would be deemed to be very much as 'council'.

How about fitting a plate from the 60s/ 70s e.g. ABC 11E is that council or not??? :roll:

Flash cars fast car, specially new ones. . . with cheap tyres. It says I can't really actually afford this and I've no idea when it comes to the crunch. Sideways merchants excluded, or is a sideways car in fact the very definition of council??

Can anyone suggest how to test if the boot lights are staying on with the boot shut?

I would say having the original N.I number plate is NOT coucil. I also used to have the original N.I dealership sticker in the back of my car, but the c*cks who did all my council modifications ( :D ) removed it for some unknown reason.
If it ain't broke, fix it till it is

No not at all.

The point im trying to make here is that its council when you buy an NI number plate to try and make your £1500 E38 728i on 22" chrome rimz, look phat init!

Same goes for creative use of number plate bolts/ weird spacing to make wrongly spelt words. Just looks like you're trying too hard. Coolest plate to have is a normal one on a supercar, let the car do the talking :cool:

They look sooooo stupid with such plates - much like the ones that move the O over eg H2O NB to give their initials or whatever. :wtf:

i think the original reg on a classic car looks great, makes it more original, naff ones look tacky and out date them selves,

one day someone will buy my irish plate off me so that i can have the original

its FAZ if anyone know anyone intrested!!!
