    Assigning a private plate to a currently SORN car?

    Says on the form it needs to be taxed ! Just had a look. Such a bull**** system... You can't retain it after buying it you need to put it on a car first. You can't put it on a car without tax. You can't tax a car that's not insured. And to top it off you can't even call DVLA on a Sunday to...

    Aftermarket German headlights. Legal?

    I've seen on BMW where you just turn the lighting attachment 180 degrees to switch the dip. And apparently Audi TT's have a flick switch to make the beam flat. :( shame !

    Aftermarket German headlights. Legal?

    Is there a method to adjust these horizontally? Surely headlights are manufactured for both sides of the road and just adjusted to suit the country ??

    Aftermarket German headlights. Legal?

    Will these point to the right and fail a UK MOT ? Can they be adjusted or adapted to pass ? I assume some of you will have drove out of the uk before, did you need any headlight adjustment?

    Wrapping interior bits in multi-color (sticker like) vinyl

    You can get pre designed sticker bomb vinyl. Maybe ask an eBay seller if they would custom make one if you want a specific theme. Don't like it too much myself but each to their own.

    215/225? tyres on 8J wheels

    I had 205 on 8j 17" on my mini and the stretch was good, If I were to do it again I would even go to 195. And my car was about 80mm off the floor, could still full lock no problem. Would rub slightly on dips in the road at speed.

    Tried vinyl wrapping, see pics. Any advice?

    80% of mine was good but I knew it would take a good few attempts to get perfect. I used a hairdryer, pretty good one though it burned my hands if you held it over for too long. but the down side is you need one hand to hold it.

    Tried vinyl wrapping, see pics. Any advice?

    No I did remove everything but I just found it really hard around the curve of the centre console. I understand what you mean about using a bigger section, I thought that when doing it so ill try this next time. Where did you start smoothing from? the front main bit where the dials are?
