It's not even waxed properly, just spent about 20 mins quickly doing it.

Had to swap the plates as the ones I had on were illegal, which I knew, but wanted to get away with it for as long as I could wink
Finally got stopped for them yesterday and got a £30 fine though

It was illegal due to the badge, the border, the text size and the font of the text.

as joe said, has to be a specific font now (specified by the government) - spaced - again specified by the monkeys (supposedly for anpr but the stuff they have is so advanced it wouldnt be difficult to make it work for other fonts (just lazy monkeys again) and yea, apparently u are only allowed the eu stars to the left of ur reg number... tho some ppl are getting away with other stuff.... it's probly more down to how much of a *£$% the plod are on the day (tho still illegal)

Haven't done anything to it for a while, been enjoying not having to work on it every night, but I'll be finishing it off soon.

Watching some rear hubs with calipers, discs, pads, driveshafts and hoses from a 318is on eBay so might pick them up at the weekend if all goes well.

He's also got an LSD for sale which I'm thinking about, but not certain it will fit and probably won't even make much use of it.
