How to remove car number plates?

*pats head*

There's clearly a lot you don't know Charles

so how did you do it?

Was it attached to the back of the grill?

The rear plate needed to be pushed into the car and at the same time then slid to one side. It was mounted on some conical bolts with a stiff flexible piece of metal providing tension.

The front plate was simply me being a wimp, I needed to detach the lower half of the plastic frame more forcefully

The dealer has sent me some magnetic gizmo so it makes swapping between the two cars easier in future, but really, it involves screwdrivers and so I think he will have to send a mechanic from St Gallen to sort it out

I'm disgusted that this should even be allowed in Switzerland, think of the poor locals you might upset who are out hiking or cycling in the countryside while you are off joyriding your death-trap, mutilating the environment as you go!

I sincerely hope you aren't a member of that petrolheads forum that i've heard about!

Me too - think about the kittens

p.s - Gis a go in your Lambo.....

Surely you should be swapping the plates from your Lambo to a proper car like a Toyota Prius. Then I won't have to put up with that noisy v12 that keeps driving through my nice quiet village - well unless fasnacht is on

will someone please think of the children!!

Toyota Prius? Haven't you heard? They're deathtraps and Toyota is hanging it's head in shame. Kitten and lentalist armageddon!

He doesn't seem to mind...

Prius? Proper Car? Yeah, right!

Toyota's woes continue with the recall of 437,000 Prius

what have you been teaching him?? he'll never be able to take a hairpin holding the wheel like that

I bet you are looking forward to the day he says "Dad can I borrow the Lambo"

Nonsense, a flex of his right sandal liberates 670bhp and he's nicely round the hairpin and looking for the next ice cream stop

We have a deal for when he is old enough to drive: he doesn't ask to borrow it, and I don't ask to borrow his girlfriends...

I bet you still do though

Your plan is flawed, Imagine the quality of girlfriend he'll get driving a lambo rather then a swift.

You make a good point.

But by the time he is old enough to drive, I think a Lambo-girl would be enough to give me a coronary

can you think of a better way to go?

People like you ruin it for the rest of us.

I bet you're the sort that races through tunnels, and scares cows on the passes. Ridiculous.

I hope you didn't get your hands too dirty.

I refute that absolutely. The enjoyment is to drive within the speed limits through the beautiful countryside with the burble of a cultured petrol engine, taking in the smell of top-grade Italian leather & the nibblyness of the finely-honed steering, Abba on the ipod, all the time waving at the dangerous lunatics in their Toyota Piouses broken down by the side of the road
