Weighs in at 1/2 a KG

Definitely, leave it with me. I ran one or 2 extra incase I **** up engraving on the 3D plane. But kind of like the clean non-engraved look now

Is there such a thing as too heavy for a gear knob? Any chance to cause strain/damage? I doubt it?

Photo in car was just a quick snap, that's at its lowest depth with just the one half but inside to stop it bottoming out. May raise it a few mm later but feels ace. Not driven yet

I'm thinking about getting a plate for the S2000. I've narrowed it down to two options:

F2OCX

S200DYD

I'd love an S200O.... plate but there is only a few available and they are really expensive.

Bottom one is too much like SCOOBY for me.

I was looking at similar too

DW won't steal these

I was really tempted by a plate the other day. Came up on the DVLA auctions starting at £300. I expected it to go for loads but hammer fell at like £350.

HON 52K.

Just wasn't sure if I could stomach the 5 over an S

What about S200DXO?

Yeah that will work. What site do you use out of interest? It's been on my to do list too. Not usually one for personal plates but it currently has R16 HKK from a previous owner that just means nothing to me

Rilot · 21 Sep 2024 at 15:08

The DVLA site TBH. Easiest.

Yeah I found the same let us know if you go for it

Struggling to justify money on something that is pure vanity.

Heh yeah that's kind of where my searching for me. I think it's something I may do after some other bits that I actually want

kinger8938 · 23 Sep 2024 at 13:05

This hurts my feelings!

Good to run a leak test I guess

Rilot · 23 Sep 2024 at 14:55

I took the wife's SUV to work today. I took one look at the massive puddles outside my house and then at the 4" of ground clearance I have and went "nope".

I sold my fd2 which was my daily driver so I guess I’m left with an S2K on semi slicks. Loud track pads etc
