Nope - it's genuinelly nice. Looks in immaculate condition, well polished, with well chosen and subtle modifications. I like it. If I had to be picky I'd probably bin the rear lights though.
Unlike the Focus above with the daft Saxo VTS '16v' badge on the side as if 16v is some sort of amazing wondertech.

if there's anything i'd bin it'd be those faux plates français, they look a bit naff tbh
and it's hardly legal driving around with an F on a UK plate
The F is perfectly legal, It's the font that's not.
I've haven't been pulled for them yet. /touch wood
It's not - read up on the legislation.

They were on it when I bought the car and didn't want to remove them and damage the paint.
And I didn't know they are from a Saxo... now that I know I shall remove them immediatley!!!
Any tips to get them off?

No I don't think so. There isn't enough support to hold the headunit above the fascia adapter.
It really needs changing actually to the one that holds the HU in the middle and there's a little storage compartment underneath too.

Heat to soften the glue and dental floss to work behind the badge and persuade it off

Just had a read through that and can't find anything that says I can't have it.
I'm probably not looking in the right places.

Cheers. I'll borrow the wife's hairdryer and give it a go tonight!

If it were me I'd leave them until just before you do your next polish and wax session on it then use the method I described. That way you can sort any glue residue there and then.
