Jag Resto

#1 Post by Mattcortes »

Well done with a fab car but why did you ruin it with the rubbish modern plates? I think that really spoils the finished article and that comes from someone who has an online modern numberplate business!

OK, so Anna Friel would suit a football jersey better, but hey, I still would.

Yeah, um, Jag. :oops: Nice. I'd find a way to live with that even if its plates were written on cornflakes packet material with a leaky magic marker.

Right, after a mega resto on the Mk2 Jaguar the only thing everyone seems focused on are the number plates, the reason it had reflective plates on are that someone ordered black & silver pressed alloy plates and when they arrived they had the wrong number on them!! We had to get a pair of plates quickly, ready for the MOT test, and could only get the 'modern' plates from our local motor factor. I hope this clears the matter up as it's really p***ing me off. :x

Sorry John lol.

Keira looks lovely in football tops but as a Hammer I just couldnt imagine runing her figure with a Spurs or Millwall shirt.
