My plate arrived at 08:40 this morning - but I've yet to take it out of the box!
Thanks John - I really appreciate all the effort you've made for us
Hope it's not been too painful Rob aka gringle

Plate arrived 10.00hrs this morning.
A big THANKS to you John for your time and efforts in this 4th Mantec Plate group buy....It is very much appreciated.
A JMC Entel Radio and now a JMC Mantec Plate and a great service from John on both .
Looking at the reserve list you'll probably have no problems getting rid of this group buy.......might be starting BUY 5 soooon.
I decided to move a few meetings at work as there were more important things to do this morning
So here are the before and after pictures!

Few people on the confirmed list that I haven't heard from yet..........
photothames / ZOOK / stumpy
Two of them have picked up their payment request PM (with no response) but one of them hasn't even got that far yet. Perhaps they are on holiday or something. I'm not rushing to the reserve list yet...... The older I get, the more I realise that people confuse wrinkles for wisdom

The Focus is my wife's car (silver) - and the Nissan to the right belongs to the neighbour next door (who is 70 and seems to have a bulk buying deal with Nissan).
As to the grey - having had blue and black cars over the years, I've found grey to require less washing (and I'm lazy)
I just need to find somewhere good to get the plate dirty now - I'm going up to Cheshire at the weekend to visit the in-laws, who live 2 miles from Peckforton Castle (LRE centre).
Perhaps I can sneak in when they're not looking? Rob aka gringle

Arrived first thing this morning - fitted not much later LRs are a fond memory, apart from the maintenance.

Does this plate really need Insurers notification.....I thought it was protection, not a modification.
Also I cant see how tightening four nuts & bolts needs a professional...as long as they are tightened to the manufacturers specified torque of 68nm...........yellow pages.......professional nut tighteners in London.
