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 8)

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

Looks pretty sweet Craig, smoothed valver bumper is 8) 8) 8) 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 :wink:

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!

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!
