Nope... But I like the alloys! Good to see another 480 on big alloys!

I'd like to put the plates lower down on my 480, not sure how it'd look though

JayTee, no offence meant, but I think that looks really poo. (You did ask...). I've always wondered what a number plate would look like mounted in the normal place without the big backing plate though... And they are good wheels.

Hate to say this Jaytee, but the stick on plates are not "approved" they do not have a cubic reflective background, so the scamera vans won't be able to get a reading (oh no!!) you might get some trouble from the plod.

wonder no more, my green 480 came without the big plate thingy on it,think someone must have crunched it!!

chris I've had no problems yet from the local scam partnership
however I'd not really expected any there must be lots of older classic
motors with stick on plates ??

pol I must admit before changing the plate i softly bumped it once or twice now i think I'll scuff the bumper and don't chance it

I must say I am surprised does No one like it or am I forced to say
IT LOOKS BETTER IN THE (metal)FLESH

I was going to get stick on plates and put them just there. I don't think I will anymore. Sorry mate

Sorry.. Wouldn't really of course!

I do like the look of the front without that big bumper backing plate.

The car looks good with the smooth bumper but don't like the position of the plate. soz

Think its more your photo mate, the missing letters and low cam position don't help.

I was considering this a while back myself.
