Default New number plate

Been running about with no front plate at the front for a while now but thought it just looked shite and a bit chav (cant have that driving a mini lol). Been meaning to get myself something that suited the aero kit and I found it. Curves nicely with the bumper and makes the front end look a little racier.
What do you think?

Nice Jay, looks better than in the window mate.

Is it me or does it look longer than normal? maybe it's because it's a plain white background without the country flag thing at the end of the plate.

Looks nice & subtle & defo not chavvy

Its normal width and 3/4 height I think.

got a new one for the rear full size, no logos, uk standard font as I am not a fan of the GB stuff. Adds another colour to the car which is not what I want.

Might just clay, polish and seal the boot tomorrow and remove the old one and put the new one on.

Should reflect the number plate bulbs more nicely as well!

Sounds good mate, defo think the clean look suits your Mini.... simple plain colours for the numberplates without the GB, etc logos looks cool & doesn't take anything away from the black & orange bodywork

Nice one

^^ it was actually all for free technically. Lights were £100 from a scrappy painting for all the bits was £125 fascia eyeball and s side vents. Sold old lights for 120 and a harmon Kardon amp I picked up for next to nothing for £130.

Splitting the lights is easy I think pro spraying should be between £70-80 quid.

I doubt it without getting pulled. I had my old ones still in whilst these were being done. Failing that get a cheap set of halogens off eBay to replace these whilst they r off the car?
