dollywobbler Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 Nice one. I hope orange bulbs was your indicator solution. They look sweet with clear lenses.
Ratdat Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 I did mention that! Just had a look and although I have two headlights, they are both RH ones. Alexg 1

nigel bickle Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 If you are sending your docs off to Swansea -TAKE A COPY OF EVERYTHING FIRST! Its not immediately obvious , but you also have to include 2 forms of proof of ID -which they will return standard 2nd class. Good luck. Hope it gets a nice numba!
Alexg Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 Shit, I sent them photocopies of my licence, will this not do????
Alexg Posted June 6, 2014 Author Posted June 6, 2014 Just phoned and they said photocopy is ok... but the DVLA say a lot of things
nigel bickle Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Luck of the draw, frankly. Fiat Coop was fine with copie,s seat Ronda had to be originals.... Go figure. Alexg 1

Ghosty Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 *NF would've been a Manchester area registration - are old plates issued randomly now?
trigger Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Will be phoning Framptons Monday for some super sexy riveted plates....Save your money and order them from these guys, I used them for the Civics plate and they were spot on, I think I paid £51 delivered for the pair compared to the £60-70 Framptons wanted. http://www.tippersvintageplates.co.uk/phdi/p1.nsf/supppages/tippers?opendocument∂=3
Angrydicky Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 *NF would've been a Manchester area registration - are old plates issued randomly now?Yes, since the closing of the local area offices the plates are issued randomly by DVLA. As a numberplate perv I find this a bit of a shame, as imports down here always used to get local JN and HJ registrations from the Chelmsford office. Squire_Dawson, Alexg and outlaw118 3
cms206 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Yes, since the closing of the local area offices the plates are issued randomly by DVLA. As a numberplate perv I find this a bit of a shame, as imports down here always used to get local JN and HJ registrations from the Chelmsford office. Indeed; as I scribbled elsewhere on here, my scrap '88 Volvo 760 Turbo donated it's registration to my 940 as it was a Glasgow issue double-digit plate and it was allocated - despite having never been out of Scotland since more or less new - E952 HFG. Dave Fowler's Volvo coach donated it's plate to his Golf and he ended up with a Bedfordshire mark IIRC. Angrydicky 1

chrisjvm Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 It's a small world!My Ex was a friend of Nicks from her time working in TV. When we drove the Citroen Ami in my ident back from near Limoux in SW France we dropped in on them,but they were out!It was about 3 years ago ...And a great roadtrip which included a breakdown (dynamo) and a speeding ticket!Happy days.

Skizzer Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Linky no worky Try this one: http://www.tippersvintageplates.co.uk/ (I've not used them, just trying to fix the link - I want some proper plates for the SD1. I'm trying to bribe my way back into its affections when it comes home after its fab holiday with Uncle Breadvan.) trigger, Alexg and 500tops 3
trigger Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 That's the place, not sure the links not working but i did copy it across using my phone, http://www.tippersvintageplates.co.uk/phdi/p1.nsf/supppages/tippers?opendocument&part=3
Alexg Posted June 25, 2014 Author Posted June 25, 2014 Got these lovely plates today and boshed them straight on.... Love 'em, although if I was being really picky I think the Framptons plates are harder wearing... Thought it a good idea to wash the outside of the R5 as haven't touched it yet. Not planning to go overboard and lose the character of the car, so just a jet wash off. Bumpers coming up a treat.... ....then off down the pub for the last bit of sunshine and a cider A few small jobs for sort but pretty much ready to enjoy!

dollywobbler Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Those plates are bob on. What a delicious looking car.
