Was just about to say what Mark said. Thought about getting the number plate moved onto the bonnet? Think it really suits the XK.

I thought about it but not sure if its legal, and i cant be bothered with un needed police hassle, also they do an under grille kit but after popular opinion on here i went off that idea too.

Anyone know if a bonnet number plate is legal?
 
Do you mean a stick on numberplate? Bit of a grey area I think, quite a few MX-5 owners run with those and get mixed results. Depends on your local plod really. I think it's the fact they're not reflective like a rigid plate that's the main issue, so long as the angle of the plate isn't illegible from looking in the rear view mirror towards it. I think the normal plate looks fine though myself.

Not a car I'd choose, the interor isn't my thing at all but I can see the appeal. What engine is this then, what power do they put out? Oh and I'd say removing the lower rear badges would look cleaner in my opinion.

The plate needs to be mounted vertically if it can be (which it can).

No it wouldn't be legal, but I doubt you'd get much hassle from it.

There's a copper round here, bacon face i call him, he has driven my son mad because of the cars he has driven, anyway by continuation he now hates me too, which i can live with, however i dont give the ***** any excuses so a bonnet plate is out for me.

Lol, did you know Burnsy is also a 'bacon face'? :p

Yea of course, but the bacon face name has nothing to do with him being a pig, a derogatory name for them iv never subscribed to.

No this **** has a birth mark on his face like a bit of boiled bacon, and that coupled with him probably having a small dick and no money has given him a hatred of anyone with a few quid.

This ***** was slung out of my lodge, which believe me is an achievement for a copper, because we just love coppers in our lodge.
 
So after the not so good turn out with the green one, i got this to replace it, very happy.

Liquid silver / black leather 58 plate all extras. I never liked this shape really before, but its grown on me now. 30k odd miles, its as new, just lovely.

I keep doing this, buying them unseen, but this one is just right.
