A few presents for the Polo (and me!) this weekend, got the front bumper smoothed, and had the door handles colour coded. My pressed plates also came today

*The grill is on it's way before anyone comments... and yes the car is on a slant!

Let me know what you think!

Looking good mate!

So are they the UK legal pressed plates?

Looks pretty sweet Craig, smoothed valver bumper is

Nice to see another with colour coded handles too

+1 to tims comment, are they legal ones?

Cheers guys!

Nah they're not the legal ones, but i don't know any better if anyone asks

I regret getting the GB band now though, think it would look better without, and the legal ones had dubmeister printed at the bottom which imo looked a bit too cluttered, better to keep it simple!

They're UK font though right?

Yup, there's too much cracking down in my area, people get pulled for anything these days and i can't afford to get a fine or points atm!

looks good mate!

@Tim, plates can be correct size, spacing, font and colour but so long as they are pressed, they are still illegal i'm afraid.

I run uk pressed plates and have had no trouble thus far but i've also heard through a copper whos a member on another forum i use that police are more concerned with incorrect spaced plates, plates made out to say something else and also foreign look plates ie-german font. Not saying they won't pull ya for having uk pressed but i'd think there would be a reduced chance perhaps.

It is indeed! I didn't like the colour too much when i bought the car but now it's getting somewhere it's starting to like nice!
