Seems sad to most people, but I was quite excited when I got mine. Then a few months later we got W4UEA for my Dad. Will have to get a couple of sets made up with a space between the E & J & the E & A so it looks proper. I know the law states that spacing should be equal, but everybody else gets away with squeezing them up - all I want to do is add an extra space.

Very reasonable price, but any little cosmetic extras will have to wait until I know how much fixing the air con is going to cost.

Mine isn't too bad with money getting spent on the car as she doesn't have any involvement in motoring costs. She's had her scooter 2 years & never had to fill it up yet (mainly because we're all safer that way), but if ever I buy anything for the car she doesn't complain.

the only thing with thos plates is they dont have the BSA stamp on .

but as i said in previous post , as long as the letters are uk font 3d or carbon. like the design i did with your number in coppers have no reason to pull you.

well they may do for the spacing but i cant see that being a problem mate. again as long as letters are normal font.
