I couldn't agree more!

It's a shame Rob took the originals off in the first place.

I think they look great. Better than putting the black/silver plates on a car which wouldn't have had them from new AND better than the modern yellow/white plates!

That’s a big improvement, nice one.
I like these;

I bought a pair for my Dads Tr6 as a present and they look great! I will be buying another pair for my sprint. Modern plates on classic cars annoy me. But each to their own and all that...
