I wouldn't have had that.

The fines a bit s**t though, they could have just told you to change it.

i'm not too fussed, i've got away with it for 2 years and my mate got pulled whilst in leeds and got fined Â£60 he he

I think it's always bound to happen Scott, I had my old ones on for 7 months, I had traffic cars behind me, normal panda cars.

The one that pulled me was an unmarked blue 4x4 (strobes in the grille) and he was a firearms officer, on his own. Bastard

I like the way we're not bothered... I got away without paying so I dont mind the fine

Thats the way i think aswell... I never pay in the gym car park so If I was to get clamped (they dont seem to issue tickets just put on clamps) I wouldn't mind paying as I owe them more. But also think...damn could've spend that money on the car or anything other than pay them lol...

Â£20 parking? thats not too bad. Its Â£50 round my end.

(I have appealed agains a parking fine I received and its been about 2 months now & they haven't got back to me weather I pay or not so does anyone know how long it takes, & when have I officiallu got away with it, which is unlikely)

Damn.. my posts are getting big

they wanted to know why i was trying to impersonate a german car when it was clearly UK registered. no mention of fonts etc they jus took the 'D' as an offence!!

they did take a lot of photos tho and said they'd not seen them before... gave me 8/10 for quality too! pair of comedians!!

That's what the bloke said about mine, "people do it to make them look good, and they do look good"

Thanks, so why are you pulling me over then, let me keep them on
