11" x 8" possibly? What ever the smallest legal plate you can get on the front is I think.
I got it from my local car shop near my work in Romford. Called MaxCar1 or something? But most places will do them

Yeah, I have to carry a bottle of water and a cloth in the boot just in case! I had to wipe some of the stuff off to get home after a meet once!

Yeah, it looks much better with the second coat! Yeah, the comments are always interesting to be fair, but its amazing to just draw and see what people write! At the start, the car was proper different, I've only looked back recently and see how much of a change it is!

The whole eyebrows thing? It wasn't in amazing nick when I got it, its basically had eyebrows welded into it, but I re-filled and smoothed it back down to give a better finish. I don't think its too hard to do, to be fair?

I've been thinking about a spoiler, but I'm not sure. Think I'll get hold of one and try it and see how it looks.

It has changed a lot! Its weird looking back. Its good fun writing on it! Keeps me amused anyway! With the car being the way it is, I've sort of run out of things to do to it... Which means engine is next... Which is expensive

Small update. MOT time today! Passed with flying colours, only had 1 advisory which was a tyre starting to run low on tread.
Also had a good day as I fixed the clonk when I came off the throttle! There is a small cone shaped thing inside the join of the centre pipe to the bottom of the mani.
I've replaced this and the springs / nuts - now my car doesn't clonk anymore! Its made me quite happy!
