Thanks for the link, I’m gonna get some and just have a play and see what happens. I actually got a good deal on the focus and they sold my Mondeo within 48hrs of it going on the forecourt. The Captur was pretty much a steal too, it’s actually not as bad as I thought but I haven’t driven it yet

Happy to help! [emoji5] Haha, let us know how you get on. I'm intrigued...

Oh wow, sounds like good swaps all round then! Not bad at all

Perfect day to swap to my private reg! NOT haha

Was debating gel plates but finally decided on pressed metal ones and I'm liking the look [emoji41]

I really like that reg. Also i am negotiating wether to put mine on 3D gel plate or german style pressed plate . Pressed plate definetely.

Before had just plain one then ordered carbon look pressed ones.
This is my new private plate.

Do pressed plates have that 3D look? Been looking at this ad on eBay and might get it in the summer. I like the 3D design where the edges lift up 

Yes they do.
Zoom in my plate & you will notice it.

Ah yeah I see now. Was looking at some ads as well on pressed plates. I don't know, I might get the 3D gel design as it looks to not have the pointy edges like the pressed plates. The edges seem to curve round which I think would look cool when you have the number plate lights shine down on it 😎 . 

I miss my little fiesta. Yes, I called it the black beauty.

Sadly, got written off 9 months ago. Before and after pictures attached. Used to make me cringe but I'm over it. And I'm looking for a new fiesta now.

Damn, I got so much real life driving stats on this car. Was a 1.6 TDCI. There were some engine difference over 1.4 TDCI which made me buy the 1.6 TDCI. 

On a full tank of diesel. I got 647 miles. I wanted to test the best MPG. I used to do around 40 miles around commute and the roads were always clear.

Does pain me to see that. Yeah I'd say the 1.6 TDCI is the one to get if insurance doesn't stop you. Not much difference in mpg and the road tax is the same when compared to the 1.4 TDCI. Its also about 3 seconds quicker to 60. I have the 1.6 tdci engine in fiesta and can check my build thread on it.

Thanks Yunii. Just in case my neighbours aren't 100% sure where all the noise is coming from (I like my music loud [emoji57]) then at least my plates should give them a clue lol.

Pressed plates win all the way. Got some kind Ford owners to send me pics of either and definitely preferred pressed over gel, even though they both look great.

That's a cool reg! The Aston Martin is alright too [emoji23]

With pressed plates, the letters/numbers are pushed through from behind so you get a 3D look at the front [emoji5]

Pointy? What do you mean? [emoji102]
Also this is mine at night, so plate lights on... Thoughts?

They do look good in black don't they! [emoji5]
Sorry to see your price and joy ruined like that! At least you've got some good memories of driving it, and I wish you the best of luck on your search for another Fiesta [emoji16]

Thanks! They'd do you as well by the looks of things, so glad I managed to snap up the reg before you did [emoji12]

Lol i was trying to say that with the gel plates the edges seem to curve to the top rather than having that square look if you looked at it flat down however don't know for sure. Can't be certain on ads.

Oh ok I'm with you now! [emoji23]
Well, mine certainly have curved edges but I can't comment on other manufacturers

liking the plate very nice

With show season around the corner, I'm focusing on all the minor cosmetic bits to tidy BB up a bit. So far, I'm definitely heading to the following (to join Ford Club GB [emoji636] on their stand):
- Fiesta in The Park
- Bromley Pageant

Was out in a scrapyard searching for bits earlier and managed to pick up a replacement bump strip for my snapped, loose one. It's all wrapped now (still loving this wrapping business lol) and ready to go on!





More minor changes to come!

Nice! [emoji1419][emoji1419] They look great. I waited about 3 weeks before putting mine on so my car could have a good bath first!

Sorry to hear about the trolley Yunii! Car parks are the worst [emoji30][emoji30]

suprizing what you can find in a scrap yard can pick up some right gems for not a lot of money. the fez is looking good

What happened to the other door strip? I think I just wait till I can get those bits sprayed rather than wrapping mine in that time. The door strips and mirror covers are slightly textured so I'm sure you apply a plastic filler primer to that before doing any painting on that to get a smooth finish.

Is good to have private plates. Was actually looking at some which contained my initials. There was a '241 N' plate however that was going for 84k which is a lot for just a plate. There's some which have my initials on it going for around £600 or one for £1000 (this is including transfer fee and Vat).
