xChris1609 Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Looking good so far mate!, Can't help but think that sticker looks like it says 'Italic Drop' though and not quite understanding the Mercedes plate surrounds get it a fair bit lower and you're onto a winner!

ChristopherReeve Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) Haha, Just what my mum said, "chris what is italic drop?" LOL.I seen the numberplate surrounds cheap and their different aren't they so i thought what the hell Oh yeah it will be low but at the moment i need my arches rolled and a c notch cut out and then it will be alot lower Cheers dude!
