Nowt to stop having the GB symbol on the plates and a "cosmetic" chrome GB on the rear end.

I got one from Halfords, has a chrome style surround and is not too big.

Tried a few of eBay but was ulucky with pitting and peeling, weren't cheap but were tat.

Mine was on there when I bought the car over 3 years ago... still looks good. I did think about removing it at the time, but decided not to.

Wouldn't Sir prefer something a little more "OE" for the left side of his boot lid?

I put the larger GB on the wifes Mondeo and it went scruffy and pitted in no time so I went for the chrome plastic as in the piccy for mine

Wow, impressive... liking the chrome look! That's probably the only colour of car where the silver Lexus lights actually look good!

I 100% totaly agree. Thats one of the best rears I have seen (oo er missis). I love that chrome union flag. And the plate looks great in that carbon fibre finish

Even the tow bar, whichI am not a great fan of, looks right. And the lights which I didnt think I would ever say.

allot of the mini suppliers will doe these in stainless steel not chrome which means they will outlast the paint!

I agree with you there, Jay. I am doubtful about the look of these lexus lights on the Rover -- but must admit these look good.

Just told my wife that I've had comment on how good my rear end looks, She said she didn't know it was that kind of club. Women! (No offence ladies).

The "I know it's an illegal plate" I know I'm going to regret saying this but it's been on this car since 2006 and on the previous car for about 4 years before and no one seems that interested, I know the spacing is not correct but its still easy to see,I think its the ones with strange script or mis shapen letters that they get the hump with.
