147 - Numberplate re-location?
Discussion
Hi All -
My commute is about to double, so I'm thinking of changing my trusty but basic 1992 Eunos Roadster (aka MX-5) for a modern hatch. Naturally a 147 appeals way more than a similarly priced FocusGolfCorollaAstra.
However, my better half is of an artistic disposition, and she reckons the offset number plate is an eyesore - "If they can't even design a symmetrical front-end, what hope the rest of the vehicle!?"
What's to be done? Can the plate easily be re-located and domestic bliss reign once again?
On a more serious note, any tips on getting a s/h 147 other than:
- Look for FSH with 36k/3yr cambelt and annual/12k or better oil services
- Don't get the Selespeed box
- Get the 6 speed JTD if possible for better performance/economy
Cheers
Pete
