Nice, It would be much better if you posted the images top and bottom. Not side by side.
Good plate though..

Did't know you could get vanity plates over there. Are the extra reflectors/lights mandatory on the rear facia or is that just a mod you chose?

Default cherished number plates
Hi, the plate actually reads V31 USA and was purchased from the local authority. If you look closely you will see that in fact it is V3 and not V8. The rear lights are actually fog lights and are fitted to all euro vettes. To be honest I prefer the American spec, although they do break up the area at the rear.

These are the "ugly" (IMO) rear fog light which are mandatory in Europe.

But there is a "tolerance" on imported vettes. We are allowed to do what you can see on the next picture in France

Just put a return between the 2 images and that will put them top and bottom. You can still edit it.
