^^ Hahahaha!!!

Well The odds on me geting done are pretty slim because my dads a cop and I know all the cops in the medway towns :tongue:

Once ive got my bullet mirrors and chrome roof trim etc, It will look quite clasic anyway. And unles the cop is a mini fanatic. He wont go "Look, that mini cant be a pre 74 reg because its got internal door hinges" :cheese:

Lucky You, no problems from the law from you.
I was thinking the same thing, but I know lots of people who got pulled because they were young driving a flash car. I can see it now:
"Right so you've got illegal numberplates, your headlamps aren't E marked, niether are your rears and your spotlamps haven't got a dip pattern" All to the sound of my licence being ripped up.
I've found quite a few coppers near us are petrolheads - could be a problem.
Was thinking though, could fit some for going abroad whilst on the ferry, who's gonna know then?

Once ive finished my mini its going to look just like the blue mini from the Italian Job :grin:

Now all I need to 2 mates with a red and a white mini :cheese:

Id so love to just drive about town in the RWB formation bumper to bumper. People would be loke They are going to rob the banks! :cool:

Geez, I love the Italian Job! Ive even got blue overalls And a hockey helmet I could wear!

[BlAck0ut]

haha, the Italian Job is a good film.

But to be honest you car is way off, firstly not a mk1 cooper s, no 10" wheels, uk flag on roof lol, no 3 spot configuration, no bonnet straps etc etc.

Read Boy, Read! :cheese:
Im GETING the 3 spots, im GETING the bonet straps, Im LOOSING the union jack theme.

Ok, I dont have the sliding windows or the wheels, But that dosent matter. It dosent have to be spot on. Its a blue mini with spot lights, thats close enough :grin:

Ok i agree the b+w plates look class, but what to do bout the front?
I put a sticker on mine across the front where the badge goes looked good but not right, put a couple of wipac spots on an it looks brilliant proper rally style or somethin like that!
Low mounted rear plate does look cool seen it but haven't sorted it out yet!

Ok. Im buying my plates soon. It wont be very expensice as it will be somthing meaningless like "GJY 464" BUT I can legally have it black and white because its a pre 76 plate :grin:

No you can't. The car has to be pre 74 not the plate. The date of first registration won't change on your V5 when you transfer it. But since Mini's look pretty much the same now as they did then I doubt anyone will think anything of it.

[TimS]

i think that was the idea that he had dan! if you changhed the plate no one would know anyway beign a mini so i very much doubt ud have any problems at all

[Dom]

the plate im after for my mini would be DOM 4N costs £5k

my ultimate plate would be V8 DOM for my gts

and the most expensive number plate around is X 1 which is a staggering £500000

Is it legal to put the reg plate on the bottom of the car (Like on the front of a mini) rather than on the boot lid?

You can have it anywhere on the back of the car, as long as it's lit up.
