Yeah they don't look right on jap car.
Yeah.
Usually all the "dub scene" guys do it. Looks fail. Had a MK4 "dub" golf riding on my bumper today around some nice country roads, he wasn't there for long
Unless your car < 1974 in which case you can use pressed black/aluminum plates or stick on plates (used on lot's of e-types) etc.... Although if your car looks old you might get away with it (i.e. the mini which I think is running the plates even if it's too new on the [2] page before and some morgan (and TVR) owners do too and so on...)
I just bought the car with them on, they will get changed for standard ones eventually don't worry 
The car is standard apart from a magnex cat back exhaust which isn't overbearing (and I like a bit of noise anyway) and those plates, aint changed anything myself, just started with a bit of maintenance.
It is a very clean car indeed Phil, with just a few stone chips at the front which I will also sort next year as well as a wheel refurb, as it's the mintest car I've had so far.

Can't remember if I posted my car here before so here it is..
Super 80s interior
And the mileage...

It's a 1996 520i SE auto. It's done 203,000 miles and has a wonky power steering pump. Other than that the mechanicals are perfect.
I bought it off a guy i work with, my previous car died last week and he said he had this sitting doing nothing, so i offered him 400 quid and he took it
My overall plan is to fix it up, sell it on and buy a nicer E39 in the new year, as i think i may be hooked already.

Laughed at me for looking at BMWs now you have one
Maybe this could be the ideal car for a road trip car to go pick up an E46 for me

It's a 1988 Mitsubishi Colt. Only about 200 of them left in the country now, 99% driven by old people
