She's so nice!
I almost ended up with a Caribbean blue for my first SW20.
How did you do / where did you get the blue doorcards? Lovely touch.

They were fitted by Flamby, the previous owner... or more specifically, he paid and LSC interiors did it all for him. However I believe LSC have stopped trading now

The wheels are genuine 17" Volk TE37s staggered 7J / 8J wrapped in 215/40/17 and 245/35/17 Falken 452s. Unfortunately the offsets are unknown as for some reason they're not stamped on ANY of the wheels

Clean car, sunny day, couple of hours to kill... yup, the inevitable happened:

Hi, I appreciate this is an odd ball question, but I wanna get things in my car right,
What size is your front number plate, as mine is an import but the previous owner has fitted a uk length plate and it just looks wrong,
Thanks in advance

Of course they're legal. Although now-a-days you need to provide V5 to get a completely legal number plate, which will include details of the company who made it. However, on an older car like ours, you could easily blag the fact that the number plate must have existed before the current number plate rules came in.
