1) I don't understand what the third brake light is for, it's of no use that low down. The only person who will see it is the car behind you, and he can see your regular stoplights anyway. High level I can understand because the driver behind the car behind you will see it.

2) Lose the M badge AND the 323i badge. Compare the front of your car to the rear. The front is CLEAN and BEAUTIFUL the rear is CLUTTERED and UGLY, like a girl with too much make up.

3) Lose the gauges

4) I like the seats

5) I love the rear spoiler in white

6) Change the clear indicators to amber

7) I'm very jealous of your toolkit, my tray just has one rusty screwdriver

8) These are just MY opinions, and I'm more into taking stuff off than adding bits on, so don't take offence! It's a very nice car!
Hi

Ulises- sorry, so it is,didn't read it properly!

Alpina- I knew I'd be treading on your toes! Ulises has asked for opinions so i'm giving mine. Fair enough you've got a modifed motor so you need to keep track of your vital signs, but I just prefer a cleaner look. So much so that I can't buy number plates from Halfrauds, I have to find online suppliers that can print just the registration number and NO postcode or manufacturer data at the bottom.

But don't tell the rozzers that...

And I always put the tax disc behind the tinted strip at the top of the window :oops:

Madmax dodges the cozzers again!!!!! plates, tax discs... i have this feeling the list goes on!!!

I agree its f-----g stupid as we need plates with the garage name on it, id rather my name or something.. but cant be done... im shooting my foot with my plates... as they are black/silver and having a mate who is a copper has told me if they catch you with these pre 1972 plates they can take that car away and pay a heavy fine... so am contemplating on getting some new yellow/black plates made up (standard) to avoid trouble.... with gauges i see aht you mean performance and standard.. with those gaues specially the pod there in..... they make good money on ebay, shame they dont make em for the right hand drive.. always seen them on the left hookers.....

I've just got some pressed plates with UK fonts.

If you're going legal...

http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/

If you don't want the small print...

http://www.platemyride.com/

Go on, guess which ones I got...

Actually I think the postcode/supplier malarky is more of an issue for new cars, so us old skoolers should be okay.

Take your car away for having the wrong plates? Bloody outrageous! Aren't there some actual criminals out there who need catching, like MPs abusing expenses for moats?

Tell me about it those B------S!!!! some coppers will give you a warning!! if you have those plates they will tell you not to drive it, which then you will have to park the car and get the right plates.. in my case i have my old plates in the boot and do a quick swap!! otherwise if traffix police do a check up, they will call for a trailer and charge you £250 in compound and £50 a day untill you come with the money, othrwise your car gets trashed if you dont collect... :lol: :lol:

third brake light ????

Isn't that a fog tail light. Took one of these of mine last year.
(a third brake light should be mounted in the middle of the car, at least)
