Double sided tape from Halfrauds. Just covered the whole plate

It's an OEM LED torch that fits in the fag lighter slot. Lasts for 30 mins on full charge and seems pretty bright. Only downside is it's too big for the ashtray cover to close, but that's a minor problem. As for the plates I'll see how I get on

Nice pics. I am not a fan of the D banded plates, it just doesn't seem very original any more. Although, they are lot better than having a st. george's cross or similar and I really like the pressed letters design.

It may sound like I am being critical, but I am not, these are just observations/my opinion:

I can't help noticing the rear badge looks a different colour to the paintwork. You could really do with an aero rear wiper to tidy up the rear end. I still think it would look so much better with the splitter c/coded.

RX's look very sweet.

Rear aero wiper is a must! They look so much better, still need to trim mine a tad more, just catches under the spoiler.
