Nah, just the naughty arrangement. So long as it's the right size, font, layout and colour.

Nothing near my plate. It may be an 03 put does not start with a KN, so still smiling and definitely not grumpy YET

Yup, your plate starts PL and the letters after don't take much alteration to look like the start of this one

Completely agree Ralph, was actually the missus that bought the car (totally standard- bar prodrive exhaust- black, silver wheels, small spoiler, quite discreet, was actually a doctors car before we bought it). Had a volvo estate before that I let her trade for it, two dogs (jack russell and jack russell cross pointer). I used to be a complete car anorak but due to having two kids, wife not been passed her test for long enough to insure her etc. it's always suited to have practical family cars and what with riding a bike I lost interest in fast cars. I've always liked subarus ever since mcrae rallied the legacy onwards but the wife decided she wanted one so I didn't argue (especially as she was buying it) but since it has kinda renewed my enthusiasm for driving again as before I couldn't really give a toss what car we had. The trouble is at traffic lights every bugger that pulls up next to you wants to race you and sometimes it's difficult not to just give the throttle a little prod, but normally I have the wife and kids in the car when I drive as the bike is what I use for commuting so tend to drive sensibly most of the time. Having said all that the acceleration for a fairly cheap 4 door family saloon car is quite astonishing, but yes lots of chavs out there to tarnish the reputation.
