Spot the difference:
Before:
After:
Been meaning to do this since i bought the car. Got the nice 3-D style lettering too, though it doesn't show on the photo really.
All i need now is someone on here telling me they could have done me one for a fiver!

Well if you got both the plates for Ԛ£15 it's OK....
Makes a huge difference though, whatever it cost

Trust me - it's a massive difference when you see it for real. The old one wasn't even, the text was too high, it was fading and leaking - looked awful.
Ԛ£15 was just for the rear actually - direct from a company round the corner that makes them for the trade. It would have been Ԛ£10 if i'd had plain black text instead of the 3-D type. They're a lot more expensive if you get them through Halfords or anywhere else that i've seen.

Nice job. Shame it's not level though.

Cool, I need to get some for mine too. Im going to get some made up back in NI and sent over as you can get lots of nice styles there and they only cost about Ԛ£15 for the pair.

ok,ok,ok! It was raining by the time i got round to putting the new plate on so i kinda rushed it a little. I'll straighten it up when it's dry again just to please the perfectionists amongst us!

Many thanks for that - feeling much better now! Looks like you need a new rear plate too now that your interior is spotless.
