Nah don't like the GB badges and borders etc, can look tacky IMO. I like them plain and simple. I'm just gonna get the original dealership stickers made up to go on them like my old ones had...

Should keep it looking original(ish) and match the window sticker...

Sorry i have to hugely disagree. A proper original plate wouldnt have the blue gb bit on it, as thats late ec sh*te.

And looks w**k.

Had a bit of a Halfords trade card bargin - the leads retail at £24.99 and the plugs £9.99 - got the lot for £11.99 :) Should sort it out hopefully...

I actually prefer it without the badge! Gives it more of an older/agressive look from the front etc. Just my opinion though ;)
