put a car one on mine to try it. also think it looks better than a square one. getting a 8mm rod  shaped round the plate for a mount hopefully thrown in as a sweetner with some equipment im having made for work.

Personally I prefer the car plate Smiley But why don't you get it through the registration process with the bike plate then swap it back (keep the bike one for Mot's). I cant see the average bobbie being bothered as long as its readable by their 'big brother' gagetry in their patrol cars Wink

hi Simon, that's actually a good idea,and i think your right about old bill as long as its clearly readable, i think if the subject of witch plate to use had not come up recently i would not of given it a second thought and just gone with the car plate  Wink

i just brought some carbon vinyl wrap its mainly used for customising cars, thought i would buy some and try it, its quiet good stuff and very cheep i think with a bit of practise applying it i could probably do the mudguards to match.... beats paint

So it's a vinyl imitation carbon? Self adhesive? Do you heat it with a hair dryer or something to fit the shapes? Just curious.

yes MM its not the real carbon mating, if you use an air dryer with heat you can manipulate around curves and it is self adhesive  i brought a cheep one to try it.. its better than i thought it would be.
