Met one of the new(ish) members on here the other night, Rapid06
So we gave the cars a quick and brave once-over in break of the baltic weather and went for a few shots & a chin-wag

Gavin has already got a set of fog lights on the way and a standard set of rear clusters
PS - I'm just getting the feel of the new camera so C&C always welcome on the photo's too

Those R plates must properly piss you off having to have them on.

Good pics.

what the hell are R plates for?

IIRC in NI, after passing the driving test, you must display ‘R’ plates for a period of one year from the date of passing the test.

 

[sumner2k3]

oh rite lol never heard of them before.. but what does the R actually stand for though?

 

[Hazza]

r****d.

I think its 'Restricted'?

 

[Jason_E]

Aye restricted to 50mph or something?

 

[Tigger]

Restricted to 45mph for a period of 12 months after the date of passing the test - awful I know!

Thanks all for the comments

 

[Curtis!]

Even on the motorway?

Nice cars guys, only plans for the ph1?

Yeah man having the R plates up does suck :boring: but they are a legal requirement.. So restricted to 45 mph for 12 months and that includes motorways. Obviously im not an angel but do stick within the limits sensibly

Even on the motorway?

Nice cars guys, only plans for the ph1?

Thanks for the comments and to Trev as well, the photos look awesome
As Trev mentioned im getting fogs for the front pretty soon hopefully, Ive got my A-level exams going on at the moment so I dont have too much time to spend on the car as I would like but school comes first! Oh and ph2 rear clusters asap so no slagging :rasp:

I am also planning to add ph2 side strips and possibly spray the bullets silver and do the letters in black. Im going to buy buy some extra bullets and experiment a little though, see what looks best. When these 3 additions are made the next plans are to tidy up the little things like a set of new clean reg plates, clear side repeaters etc.

 

[Beef-Mc]

Quality idea is the R plate.

Good set of mods your thinking about there.

 

[Tigger]

Yeah R-plates still apply on the motorway. I stuck to mine, but 50mph on the motorway is dangerous enough at times TBH

Gavin, consider what I mentioned for your bullets

 

[adam1942]

when I had my 'R' plates on I just stayed on the inside lane and kept up with the traffic no way in hell am I doing 45 on a motorway people coming towards you at 70+ mph its quite scary! good pics lads where were they taken?


**edit**

larne coast??

 

[GavC]

Any time I have been on the motorway I have travelled at 50/60 mph, I tried sticking to 45 but it creates further hazardous siutations since I was constantly being over took so 50/60 is a comfortable speed to be honest.

And no its not at the Larne Coast :rasp: they were taken in an industrial estate in craigavon/portadown, its pretty cool location which Trev happened to know!

 

[Tigger]

Trying to think of another spot for better pics of yours & Chris's motor now
