Need to find a place for the licence plate. Either under the wheel or on the swing away arm like this :

I think mounting it on the carrier would be best but it may not be legal on a LHD car because the spare wheel might stop speed cameras from getting your plate.

Defender's and Disco's are still legal. No problem.

We even have some cars here that have front licence plate on one side and not in the middle (Alfa Romeo)

I've now replaced the tail/stop/indicators in the bar with LEDs.

That wheel looks really good centered like that. Well done Flo!

Given you have gone to the trouble of getting that symmetry, I would put the plate on a wheel centre carrier. Just maintains the balance you have achieved.

Nah, think it needs to move to the right about 15mm :p

But really, nice job Flo.

Cheers, Paul.

Thanks Paul. You're right about those 15mm :p. The fact is the wheel is centered on the bumper but the chassis is of the P38 isn't perfect. My friend Jean-Marie who built a custom rear bumper found the same sort of problem.

Kaymar told me that's why they stopped making the bars,
