Car registered today in Holland
Discussion
In december I bought Jason's blue Noble.
It has been living in a garagebox since, waiting for the correct head lamps and some minor work.
The battery and several fuses have been replaced and some wiring has been repaired.
Finding the correct headlamps part no was the main challenge.
Last week the head lamps arrived and were mounted and today the car has been registered for a Dutch plate.
For those who want to import/convert a 2.5 or 3 (not 3r), the correct part no of the headlamp is: Valeo Cibie 082372.
Current price is € 31,- each.
The registration this morning was a breeze.
I am thinking about adding 2 sets of registration plate clips (as can be found here: http://www.trailertek.com/acatalog/Number_plate_ho... ) to have a better airflow on the track.
However, for the front plate it seems it will be quite fragile.
Has anybody used these clips or a similar system?

After seeing the airflow pic i am putting my front number plate back on in its original position, more than enough air goes into the rad and its like hitting a brick wall, the plate helps reduce drag and direct the air over the clam, if the cars coolant system is well maintained then dont worry about the number plate. 70% water 30% coolant mixture, fixing any minor leaks and changing to 50mm pro alloy core rad will make a big difference if you are having problems with coolant temps.

Do you miss the car?
Didn't think I would as I thought the 997 turbo would be just as much fun and keep those urge all under control. Whilst the Porker is a very capable car and so much better in many ways than the Noble I do miss the raw involvement.I'll be back in due course.

Yes they are, nothing wrong with them at all. So long as the font is correct along with the spacing, they're perfectly legal and MOT friendly.
They don't meet the reflective regulations. Even the the people that make them admit as such. Sure, most MOT places let them through, but that's just one of those things they let slide....or just don't know about. PeterV said:
Hi Paul,
The padding of the seat has been replaced by a very thin layer of padding.
Also the upright part was lowered and the seat is bolted directly to the floor.
A detachable steering wheel is next on my list.
Good to see 'your' car has been fixed.

Seems you have my problem (6ft 5") I removed the foam, but made little difference, but the removable steering wheel boss really helps with knee clearance when in 6th gear. If you what details of the firm in the States that do them, let me know. I'll try to post the thread I did on this. The padding of the seat has been replaced by a very thin layer of padding.

There's no check required for reflectivity as part of the MOT so if your car is wearing one it'll not fail due to that. Gassing Station | Noble | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
