Within the spec that JT correctly quotes, certain national flags are legally permitted to be displayed on the plates a union jack being one of them.
3D plates, and raised gel numbers are also legal, as are coloured borders.
You will not be prosecuted or fail the M.O.T. after Brexit for displaying the blue euro badge on your plate :D

I have to pay to have a licence to make plates, which is annoying as sellers online don't bother and make you anything and just sell as a "show plate"
I have to see some form of V5 for the plate I'm making and also some I.d for the person who comes in asking for the plate. I have spot checks done randomly when a DVLA representative turns up and asks to see proof that we thave taken down the correct info.

Did a bit of cleaning today but not on the cx-3 🙂. Got my power ball on the drill and polished up the exhaust tips on the Fiesta then a quick wash, dry and wax. Also did our daughters little Vauxhall Viva.

Noticed you have side window wind deflectors on the Fiesta...have you considered them for the CX3.

I have read a few comments on this forum and can't decide if i want/need them.

To be honest I had them fitted before collection mainly for the look. If anything they are a hindrance due to the tinted colour the blind spot is more pronounced.

Glad you like it. I'm applying this ceramic coating on the Mazda next week.

nice GT,
how do you find the paint on the cx3, is it soft or hard?
i'm into my detailing and in the past have found it to be a bit soft,
we've ordered a cx3 sport nav and have told the garage not to touch it , in the hope of reducing the swirls and marks..
