I cut a hole through the rear bumper the height and width of the letters in the numberplate to make a letter box... I then used a pair of 30 watt household halogen bulbs to illuminate the hole, looking at it though I think I should have used a pair of 15 watt bulbs because the 30 watt set up is very bright - I think I need to add some resistance to the cicuit, not usre yet til I compare it to another cars setup. | |

Ok, so totally legal then. Didn't go for a gay font or silly spacing/size... Now the slight problem of my 60mm lowering springs and stock shocks... :o Might need to change them back after Max Live until I get my Konis :lol: | |

OK, thanks people, so now the only problem is that the number plate is a TVR style one... They are supposedly being outlawed at the moment :( | |

I'm pretty sure that Vaux have used black screws on the rear of mine so you should be ok. | |

If I use black screws to hold my number plate to the bumper then would it be illegal? They will be situated in the top corners of the plate and will not make the text on the plate look any different - I can't get hold of any of the yellow caps at the moment... |
