No disrespect meant if the black and silver look is your thing - I know many who like it - just to my eyes it doesn't look "right" on a more modern car. If the plate was of the dateless type i think it would look OK .

Good illustration of clear and amber indicators too i guess.


I prefer the clear indicators, but agree the Black plates look a bit gash.

I see the B/S plates as a bit of a 'right of passage' - earned by putting up with a classic vehicle and all its associated maintenance and foibles smile smile
