Yeah, you'd think, but I don't wanna run the risk with the cops by making it look like JB rather than J8, anyway it looks pretty much like JB anyway

True....
Already had a brush in with them at Xmas, £60 fine and 3 points for going through what I KNOW was an orange light :/ She was a trainee from what I understand though, so she had to get a certain number of each offence to 'graduate' and I got picked on :/

your allowed through on orange arent you if you'd struggle to stop?
and just put one of those black screw covers on it and maybe put a screw through aswell and then you can say its screwed on at that point
I put an import size plate on mine which it shouldnt have as its not really an import although i've taken it off until i can get the bumper sprayed where the old plate holder left a mark

cant be arsed to bother with the number plate thing, I'm more concerned about the fact that the day we picked it up (and didn't realise till we got home) that some little twat had keyed the word 'Hi' into the drivers for, about a foot high, a foot across.
Little chavvy shits, now do you see why I hate them so much? 
It wasn't there the day before we bought it though :/

Very nice, very nice indeed 
I've driven a 2007 Mini Cooper S and it goes like excrement of a soil moving apparatus to say the least! I put my foot down just after a corner onto a straight road and it shot off to the right, too much power for such a little car lol. Visability front and back isn't great though, but fun as hell and very solid
Something insane like 170bhp, rather mental if you ask me for a car that size lol. Put my GTi to shame like anything

It was bought from a couple who lived in a row of about 40 terraced town houses, on a hill road tightly packed with cars either side, the whole street looked a little 'dodgy' and it was in the middle of Essex. And there always seemed to be kids nearby from what I gathered. I put it down to them little shits

The "Hi"? No, I haven't bothered. It's deeper than the paint, so polishing and buffing it out hasn't worked.
A guy who came to do my Dads car the folowing day said it'd cost anywhere between £80 and £125 to do it :/

why not spray yaself on a week when you dont need the car....take all the window seals out and stuff.....rub down to the primer.....prime it, flat back, paint it, flat back, lacquer it, flat back, then polish up

I know that, I mean you will never get the same colour as the rest of the panels as the car is x years old, been subject to rain, shine etc etc...
unless of course J you wax and polish your car every week?
