Nice one matt. I like it. Great price too. Get a picture up when it comes through.

Wmt I dont think thats right. No one looking at that car is going to think its an m plate. They will clearly think its a private number.

They might but anyone who knows coupes will know it relates to the car and anyone who does not will never think that particular car is an m plate.

MrCooper is my coupe's pride defence solicitor/guard dog laugh He's only doing his job.

Thanks Cwees. When I come to insure the car I'll make them aware smile I wonder if I'll pay more because it's a plus? Are they the same insurance group as a boggo 20VT?



Coopless!

Excellent....it now has a "red flag" on the PNC, so be prepared for a stop & search every time you drive it! tongue

Oh, and any traffic cop who is a petrol head will immediately be suss because he'll "know" that a Plus wasn't available as an M plate wink

Enjoy! laugh

I love nothing more than a nice chinwag with those assigned to "protect and serve" in fact I think I'll do a bit of dodgy number spacing to increase my chances tongue

Group 20? For a bodykit and a sixth cog? Sheesh crazy

Edinburgh's the place for you then Pinin, not only did they follow me into the school carpark to tell me off about the spacing, they noticed the letters had different shading [brownish] which gave a 3-D illusion, which I hadn't even seen! Had to promise to get new ones - hope they didn't take a note of the plate originator.......



wave Joe wink


Oh and AFAIK pretty well all M plates were demo models and I suspect were M7** CLM or thereabouts.

Nice plate btw cool

Nothing to do with it.

The higher group is because the Plus is the best and most desireable model so more likely to get stolen wink
