i thought that too, but the amount of cars i see driving round with smaller ones makes me wonder........JPR_polo_gti wrote:I do believe the size is regulated and you're likely to get fined if you made it smaller.
my polo so far......
Im not if kipper means making the actually lettering and plate smaller or if he basically means the equivalent of chopping the ends off?JPR_polo_gti wrote:I do believe the size is regulated and you're likely to get fined if you made it smaller.
Well it would be illegal if you canged the spacing or size of lettring, but if you kept the spcing and sizing the same but just shortened the plate, then that wouldnt be a problem.

Think your talking about the strips along the doors? If so, use methanol spirit with a cloth and scrub it off. Its gonna kill your arm but unless you really scrub the spirit in the glue, it won't flex and come off.kipper wrote:was wondering, removing the bump strips but as its held on by rubber sticky stuff once i removed the strips i need to remove the sticky stuff with ease without removing the paint. any one know wat i can use?
or you could invest in a toffee wheel (not sure if thats the correct term). its a small rubberesque drill attachment that you go over the sticky stuff with and it pretty much whips it off. it takes out all the graft but does the job just as perfect. i used to have a 'wurth' one and it worked like a charm.NOZ wrote:Think your talking about the strips along the doors?

Luckily thats a job I didn't have to doModifiedMadness wrote:You'll then have to fill the holes left behind them.
That drills more expensive then £2 at the shops but i know some cars do get left with really stiff glue left at the edges. I sanded the top layer away then used the spirit for them bits. The drills probably better for that though- just don't ruin the paint whatever you do
drillls arnt a problem, being a qualified carpenter i got 3 cordless and 2 corded. but its all done now and im sure youve all seen and hopefully the front bumper will be done thsi week sometime to.
another thing, if ur not allowed to change the lettering how come i seen cars with smaller lettering on the number plate?

Just ain't bothered about getting caught I guess. There's so many cars with aftermarket plates on too that the cops don't pull you up unless they really feel like it. I was following a copper once following a car with illegal plates (white plate on the back with italic font) and not bother. However, on their bad days they certainly will and you wouldn't want it to be you.
