Indeed, I parked along side a J reg 340 locally today! It's funny how odd that looks with the number plate mounted on the bumper.

gorgeous colour!
also; look at the difference between stainless and plastic window trimming (pasenger door/rear window)
makes it very clear the stainless versions are many, many times better...

Yes, I think he meant stainless chrome vs plastic chrome
I prefer the black trim!

black trim is nice for sporty MKIII
I like the oldies a bit more, if the stainless 'chrome' is still in shape it looks pretty good, i think

Over on the mainland the number plate is attached underneath the bumper. That looks a bit better than on it. Is that illegal in the UK? Check:

Leather, leccy windows and mirrors, snowcap, foglights, open air filter, black roof upholstery. What more do you want? >a 2.3 turbo!

The license plate is always attached under the bumper at MK3 models, also in the UK. Just not on the one from the picture.

I think raising the number plate is a good idea, but just sticking it on the bumper like that looks terrible. Kev Strong's car is a decent example of how to do it right(ish)...
