    Car back from having the nose resprayed, trying the flexy number plate.I am also trying a clear protection film over it to protect it from stone chips. I think it shows the curves better.
    Might get pulled may not get pulled, i will let you know. Oh yea changed the front gril from black to silver.
    MB: Oh yea for the bike buffs on the site i have replaced one of my MV Agustas (the F4 750s, not the F4 1000)mirror indicators for a pair of them new clear ones.

    Looks good and I believe it is legal as there are no flat surfaces on which to mount a vertical plate.

    Plate looks great & the grille makes the car more up market - if it could be..

    I'm going to phone the man that does.

    Chaa, is it reflective?

    because if it is, like it should be, if you ask your guy to use reflective black vinyl (I know it sounds daft) for the text, your numberplates will be invisible to flash photography

    wink wink

    I've had a flexy number plate on our E Type for ages. Never had any interest from the law, although saying that is probably tempting fate. I would suggest that a Ferrari is more likly to get stopped than the E type anyway.

    The white vinyl is reflective while the black letters and numbers aren't.

    Hadn't thought that if they were reflective too they might be invisible to flash photography. Still most speed camera take a picture of the back number plate don't they, it's only the mobile ones that get you from the front.
