Number Plate Fiasco

 

 

The above pictures were a result of a poor method of attaching a number plate to painted surface.  Why oh why did they just use sticky pads like everyone else?

 

 

Indicators - Updated

 

Since buying the car I have hated the side repeaters.  Caterham must have been having a bad day when they decided to fit these:

 

 

They are from SVS and cost £14 for a pair.  They use a double sided pad to fix to wing.

(I have now found out that they are available from Motor World for £8!!!

 

 

I am sure you will agree that the finished look is 100% better

 

Since doing this I have discovered some even neater ones that I think are easier to fit and look better.  Got them from a motor bike shop on Westgate Hill, Newcastle.  Demon Bikes £15 which is nearly double but I think they are worth the extra.  Only thing is because they are small they no not cover the original fixing holes but easily covered up
