Could i just ask why people are suggesting blocking out the plates?? I bought my car from a Peugeot Dealer on the net... The car was on the Official Peugeot used car web site, and all the photo's they were displaying were showing number plates... Surely if it was sooo dodgy they would block out the plates? There's just as many dodgy people walkin the earth that could easily take note of my number plate as there is on the net...

One possible reason to keep your plate obscured from view, is to avoid 'cloning'. If someone wants to avoid e.g. the congestion charge (in London), or avoid speed cameras, they simply need to spot a car of the same make, model and similar colour as their own, then have a number-plate made with your numbers and fit it, thus you will receive all their fines.

You might think this is a bit far-fetched, however there are hundreds of thousands of unregistered and uninsured drivers in the UK. You could also think that it's quite a bit of trouble to go to. Trust me, there are so many dodgy car dealerships/garages in London where you can have a plate made up while you wait for 20 quid. Additionally, if the police catch the fraudulent drivers, they are summoned to the Magistrate's Court (where at worst they'll be fined), and if they don't turn up, that's pretty much it until they get pulled over another time, at which point they will simply be issued with a further summons.

I see that is how you get by with fraud in the UK.

Vvvvvvv nice matey

Does it have the little spoiler/fin on the back to stop it flying of the road. (Audi apparently recalled the first batch and proceeded to fit the fins due to lack of road stability)

Well, I don't have the need to own a car myself at the moment, it's a no brainer if you consider: (a) congestion charge (£5 per day, Bloody Ken Livingstone...) (b) insurance (last car I had it was £2450 per year) (c) parking (a spot where I live costs £35.000) (d) I'd only really use the car to go to the country occasionally (e) I have the car below at my disposal through the company:

I quite like Ken Livingstone...I think he's the man that should be PM!! ...The only thing people have against him is the congestion charge...and btw the congestion serves its purpose and does work and isn't a waste of money...it reduced traffic congestion in central london by 50% aswell as polution levels.
