Because I didn't have a 50 litre tank to drain it into, nor did I have a suction pump, not to mention me having no transport to get said items as it was full of fucking diesel.
Smaller front plate is here. W00t

sell me your splitter Robin 
Love the plans for it too, mine is coming off the road in a couple of months as last winter was a bit strenuous on her (damn rust  ) In the mean time, Ive already got the wheels off ready to refurb them and then debating weather to charge her once TR Lane release the supercharger kit in the near future

I've got split visors, can't run the plate in one, it won't work
Davey, I'm blaming bp, colour coding wasn't clear enough
Jim, more expensive than hard to come by, you're looking at 300 quid plus for one.
Firestate, I paid 1000 for the first, which was a nail, 2k for the current one, which is almost spotless, so that should give you an idea

No major update but a few pics
The lovely AA coming to my rescue after the fuel incident
Some stickers
and the facepalm
The missus doesn't like it for some reason 
The vehicle info plate which describes it as a special edition, no-one can work out what though
The aftermath of a small (speedbump size) ramp taken on full left lock to get into the back end of the work car park.
fixed with a hammer though, so all is good.
First bit of topless driving in the dark, was 12 degrees and Anna was quite cold, not sure why, the heaters were on full.
And finally, the import document, which has the details of the Japanese regitration plate;
Which would look like this
Currently trying to find a company who can make it, not as easy as you'd think.
I've not done anything with the Advans yet, really should pull my finger out and get some polishing done.

I love the fact the AA make it blatantly obvious to your neighbours how much of a muppet you were too
And also the irony the sign says no mobile phones and I'm pretty sure you took that photo on a camera phone?!

If it was a Special Edition it woudl say something under the words "Special Edition".. Its just a heading just like all of the other bits the ID plate. Being blank means it is not a special edition which is why you can't find anything special
