Hmm, which one?

Yeah, no contest. Looks much better. (Cheers Tam)

Yes, I used paint cleaner to get rid of the 9 year old crud before fitting the new part.
As suzublu said, slippery slope.

Yes, a very slippery slope, say bye to lots of ££'s and happy hunting for the more elusive bits!

Smiley number plate and it will look perfect.

Its touches like that, that still set the 75 appart from other cars imo.

A smiley rear plate makes people think we are driving Jags

But it certainly sets our cars apart from the "lesser" models

And let's face it, our cars are definitely NOT Mondeos

We're above that

TBH the standard number plates look a bit naff on our cars

Smilies are good

That's got me thinking, now...

Where's your union flag gone?

Bit cheeky but ill take the badged plinth of your hands if you like

Have to agree..once you start personalising your car, it becomes very addictive....Chrome bullet mirrors, Torpedo badges, Smiley Plates etc...the list can go on and on...i've dented my wallet a few times, but can't help it

Never had one, and I like the look without it. Much neater imho.

I gave it to my friend who has a 75 classic se. His plinth lost the badge, then lost the mount for the badge.

Sorry
