New plates & Backing boards

[KillerHERTZ]

Just finished fitting 2 new font style plates (GB ones) onto black backing plates.

These are the plates which virutally all new Merc's come with, and make the car look loads better.

Backing plates = £2 each

8x Sticky pads = 15p each
2x new plates = £17.02

That's exactly what I've got too, looks great doesn't it?

The black plate holders were already on my car, and also on my previous car, some dealerships fit them and some don't, when I spoke to Monarch in B'ham they sent some to Vinay for free, just paid postage! I'm told MB Manchester have them too, don't know if they would charge for them.

I was soaked for the sticky things, I paid about £1.50 for each packet I think, that was from halfords.

I didn't pay anything for my licence plates, had them made up by the stealership, I don't mind having their name on the plate, esp as they cost nothing. Anything is better than having licence plates that say LEX VEHICLE LEASING on them!

I would normally demand pics right now, but in this case I'll let you off, I don't post pics of my licence plates either in case someone fancies using them for congestion-charging purposes!

I got new plates mainly because they say 'Robinsons-Mercedes' on them, instead of the name of my local garage, makes me look like I paid more for it

Which is also the reason why I changed my plates . Looks a lot nicer with the local dealership plates on it, and also the dealership tax-disc holder, and the dealership air-freshener hanging from the ceiling .
