I saw a VS commodore with the number plate "XKR" in the fancy black and yellow plates. Must be a Jag fan.

I don't know about anyone else, but I can only detect "Ford Focus" in these plates if I squint a little. What I seem to get instead is "Ford Faeces".

INMNSHO, the price is a joke in any event.

whats the bet all the chev badges are made in china, funny really.

I have a new pet hate that trumps the chev badges, you see them most commonly on holden,s & ricer's but i have seen a few fords wearing them, its the dreaded "TRANSFORMER" badge.

(disclaimer) don't forget folks this is my opinion only, not to be taken to seriously

About 10 years ago my apprentice had a 1976 Honda Civic. We made up some XYGT stripes and superoo's for it (smaller, to scale of course), and called it "35.1 GT". Was obviously having a laugh at himself, but attracted alot of comments/interest. Was so silly that it kinda looked cool.....

and yes, if you recignise the car, its Conundrum's Fairlane(my brother).
only a few hours after doing this, he walked past his car numerous times. it wasn't til he actually walked out the front of the workshop that he noticed. i couldnt resist but to laugh myself silly because it took him that long to notice!

More money than brains??

There's one on a GTS on the southside of Brisbane with FPVSUC.

What a waste of money! But obviously they feel threatened

There's only one personalised plate I've ever seen that was any good. Vic plate "BQQBS".

That's it.

Well he got a huge discount because he only has one on the front and it is spelled backwards for viewing in a mirror.

There was no point having one on the back as the only time anyone who actually cared could be behind him is if he drove past them when they were parked......

Even worse than the badges, the fake "BREMBO" brake calipers on Ebay.

EPIC fail.

Check em out.

LOL, yeah was waiting for that one. I think it is different and a bit more tasteful considering the Pursuit is the utility version of the GT.

Sorry, I didn't actually think anyone on here had a set of the fake brembo calipers. But if you think they look cool that's what matters.
