Show me your car tax disc holder

Raymond Lin · 31 Oct 2011 at 20:35

I know, I know...what's wrong with a plain paper/plastic holder?

Well, mine is still from the garage I got it from so it has their name on it and i hate free advertising

What I want is a metal one but I heard lots of stories about those don't stick too well. Anyone care to recommend some?

Get a Magnetax, dirt cheap and don't look rubbish.

I've got a custom one from the ITR-DC5.com forum with my forum name...

Goes nicely with my Spoon reservoir socks in my Impreza...

It is actually magnetic so you don't have to faff around with those stupid little hex nuts...

I use one of these bad boys with the tax paid bit turned over.

I know the tax is out of date, the images are from a thread along similar lines a few months back....

Dunno mate, perhaps its had paint at some point in the past 14years?

Looks fine in the flesh as such....

Still see it?

[TW]Fox · 31 Oct 2011 at 22:12

Yup!

Love how shiney snow makes cars though

Raymond Lin · 31 Oct 2011 at 22:13

I see it too!

Always get a Magnetax (already posted).

Scania · 31 Oct 2011 at 22:21

Well, as I say, it looks fine in the flesh, the bonnet has got some "Crows feet" marks in it where the laquer seems to be cracking, so its fairly safe to say the bonnet is not the factory coating but its barely noticable and certainly not worth getting resprayed given the age / value of the car itself,I've decided that any expenditure is used for keeping it on the road.

And yes, snow makes cars look great, well, great until you drive in the stuff & it gets covered in road salt & grime.......

Magnetax, been using them since 1998 I think.

DB_SamX · 31 Oct 2011 at 22:54

As much as I do like the magnetax ones, they keep dropping, especially in direct sunlight. Can't understand why? Does sunlight affects magnets?

Can't be bothered to change the plastic BMW one that came with the car.

Magnetax

When you're wiping your screen, be careful not to nudge it as you'll wreck it
