Looks good Paul,

A constructive criticism if I may. New number plates will transform the look of your car; especially that rear plate.

Thanks Robert.

The plates are on my ever growing list of to do's.
I was hoping to find somewhere that could reproduce the original Citroen dealer plates maybe I'm being to fussy

If you talk nicely, the plate maker might even leave off the ugly BS/whatever marking. If you talk even more nicely, they might also leave off their trade name.
Forever hopeful.
For "talk nicely" read Bottle of Scotch.

Very nice indeed and good inspiration for checking and protecting my tow bar which I do use..strange really they rusted that badly on your car.

I think Matthew T got some dealer plate copies made up. Towbars do like to rust.
