Petee's Lude 4th Gen H23A

I must say this lude is soooo shiny/clean

[prahunt]

So after contacting Master Performance through Facebook due to their email server being down, I found out my order had been incorrectly delivered. They resent my order and it turned up Friday!!





Full energy suspension master bushing set up. looking forward to getting these fitted, though it may be a job for after summer due to taking the Lude to a few shows. I'll see how patient I can be...

She's also got her MOT this Friday. my only concern is the exhaust being decat... But apart from that she should be fine.

Your car looks stunning mate.

But you know what, in my opinion, spoils the look at the front?

The bloody number plate. Such a pity we have to have them on the front. I bet your Alfa mate thinks so too - the Alfa fronts are even more spoilt by number plates.

Couldn't you get away with a smaller one? I fitted a smaller one centrally on mine, it's held on with heavy duty Velcro, and I have a full size plate in the boot ready to be swapped if any grief ensues.

Last month my car went in for MOT (well, here it's called NCT and its stricter than the UK MOT) so I put the full size plate on. The car failed on headlight alignment, and when I went back for the retest I forgot to remove the smaller plate.

No one noticed and it passed!

I do agree. The front end looks so clean without them. Really smooth lines.
Is a shame they're now a legal requirement in the UK. Unless you want to run the risk.

And haha, I think you'd have to have a really strict tester to fail on a smaller plate.
Also very nice looking Lude as well

well done buddy

Cheers pal. Now I can trust that site, there's a few other bits I will want to get.

Haha I just checked, but it was Nafeman's. Will let it slide....

Few pictures I took today.
She needs a clean, but still looking very fresh.







And the obligatory car guy selfie

You think? Here, you have to have the county of registration printed at the top of the plate, in Irish! Even though the two central letters designate the county.

They will and do fail you if they are not there. I think I only got away with my small plate because it was a retest and he was only looking at the one thing it failed on.

That's the same rules as in the UK for the plate - fail if it's not the right size and shape plate, correct font (and correct size) not allowed to have anything other than EU or GB flag on the plate etc. etc.

Your car looks stunning though alinton.

Have you had the nostrils painted? They look very dark.
