De-badged yes, but he may mean the bonnet
You haven't removed the rub strips on the sides, but imo keep them on
Door vinyl is the stuff on your door pillar the black tape stuff

 

[Mikey527]

i have removed the rub strips on the side.
There aint none on the photos ive posted apart from the two when i bought the car.

The man speaks truth lol

sweet car mate just tint the rear lights and spray your door handles so there shinier tint the windows possibly ? lots of mods all boils down to the budget of how far your willing to go with the car.

 

[Mikey527]

well i have a decent amount of money to spend.
Not really too fussed about performance wise though.
i have a cheery bomb middle silencer to fit and a upsweft letterbox backbox also.
Then just pressed plates on order aswell so far.
Angel eyes maybe????

ye but these pressed plates are now legal.
The old style never had a certain number on the bottom and they used to be reflective, meaning speedcameras and shiz had a chance you wouldnt get caught.#
Go on dubmeister and read what it says. there made differently to comply with BSAU145d making them legal.

But is it really worth the risk of getting pulled then the police having to go through everything and then finally finding out there legit or even if you get a stubborn police officer that just looks at the plate and thinks there all the same because they look the same and says it is illegal and just does an on the spot fine there and then for £30

 

[Mikey527]

they cant give you a on the spot fine.
They give you a ticket but then you can appeal.
Aslong as it has the BS whatever number then your all good.
And as soon as they see that the they know its legal.
The old pressed plates never had that number an the new ones are lasered on.

Well at first i found they are legal then they said there not, i havent been pulled for them, i did get pulled over for my blue sidelights and the plod said "you wanna sort out those plates" but he didnt seem to care as much as my sidelights i had to take them out and it was so dark surprised i didnt break anything lol
