I carry a council estate wanna be dealer round with me with a north face coat on packed to the brim with drugs he claims its all his if the po po stop us and I pay him for doing some jail time or smash his knee caps in for being a grass depending on how he behaves down the station mate.
Work will be replacing both thermostats as the operating temps aren't even hitting 60deg causing the dpf not to regen and the mpg to be shit, while I'm there I'm gonna fit s new water pump for shits and giggs and also a new crank case breather.

Sounds like your upset that I dissed your dodgy colour schemes and un ironed curtains mate. Can't hack the bantz. Cars mint under the wrap got pictures of it being done from the guy who did it before I bought it.
Oh and it's not wrapped.

That's even worse captain crease.
Anyway got my plates...
Old water pump, loads of play in it was lucky the impeller didn't shear off tbh especially as these cars don't have a temp gauge! Shitter.
New pump with metal impeller
Putting it back together pic
Old egr stat
Old main stat which had stuck open causing it not to reach operating temps. Ever.
Another pic of plate

I really can't get on with that plate. Makes the car look shit. I do apologise for that comment it is my own opinion and in no way does it reflect you, just the plate on the car. No personal attacks.

I appreciate you opinion nic, no harm caused, we can still be friends.
I think it looks good, I won't say better in person coz that's a silly internet thing to say but Iv only stuck it on today and the cars been parked in the garage all day a lot of customers and traders have commented on how good they think it is. I personally like it, hides the age.
If I get hassle from the LAPD too much I'll sell it and buy a more sensible one like I had on the vxr.

No customer in their right mind is going to tell you your plate looks shit, are they? 
It just look like you've bought a cheap plate and tried hard to make a named/funny reg out of it.
Also it's just asking for the police to stop you.

They do, I have a lot of abusive banter with my customers, it's the motor trade.
It was a cheap plate, there's nothing trying nor hard about moving the letter M a bit to the left and the letter U a bit to the right mate.
And fuck the police brap brap brap. Not scared.
I think your deffo ready to have kids Ben your more miserable than my 65yo step dad.

I don't like anything other than standard font/colour for a plate but saying that it does suit the car
