Re: Newer Pics Of My 406 1.9 TD
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.

Re: Newer Pics Of My 406 1.9 TD
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.

That's exactly right. & another set for my Dad's with the same space between the E & A.Gary406 wrote:do you mean like this ?
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.Gary406 wrote:ye same here. i need to slow down spending now the miss's is starting to go mad

Re: Newer Pics Of My 406 1.9 TD
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.
