cost £35 posted from http://www.german-number-plates.com/?gclid=CKGhuZmxrIoCFQJPQgodWE6nuw

on the back it says not for use, they are just a sign, i know people who have no problems with them, the're all spaced properly, i suppose they're no worse than having italics, so no they're not legal "show plates"

Awesome wheels, I fancy some for mine in 16s.

Lucky with the bumpers! Something a bit different from the GSi norm, lol.

debadged grill has just been ordered funnily enough, the saxo spoiler stays till i do the rest of the bits that need doing, like smoothing off the cracks in the bumper and getting it sprayed
