Looks like your family enjoyed the event. How did you fare with the plate fixing? Paul.

Go on Rich - are you going to tell Paul that you followed his instructions to the letter...or the truth??

Walk of Shame

Unfortunately, the pre-face lift model's front bumper overhang's the front number plate by aorund 5mm or so. Therefore, I needed to adopt an inferior method of fixing the plate using some roof strap ties to fix to the front grill. It worked, but didn't look very pretty.

At Hall Place, I did take the opportunity to see how others had faired. The most common approach appeared to involve cable ties! Though I did see an old series II xj using string!

So I'm still on the hunt for a method like Paul's that will work for my XJ-S.

Cheers, Rich
