Very nice. Why did you not go for the full size rear number plate? I think it looks a bit odd Whistle Thumbs Up Gone - TD4 XS Auto, Sumatra Black, Mud flaps and side strips, clear indicators, private plate, privacy glass

Full size number plate - I thought all number plates were std size, I certainly wouldn't want one any bigger.

They are, but there is a specific size for the rear of the FL2, hence the bigger recess. It's deeper than the standard size. So long as the lettering is standard size, it doesn't matter about the physical size of the plate.

Would be nice to see both next to each other. I've just ordered an Orkney D4, but not sure on the colour (still time to swap!) - but I do like the Stornoway.

Mind you - Orkney looks nice here too.

I had the same concerns - Stornaway was my preferred choice however the Orkney looks great and Im really pleased with how the car looks.

I love chrome arse pieces so much that I baulked at buying an fl2, what really made my mind up was the shiney black sports LE in Ripons show room, perfect except for the finger prints all over the crappy chrome arse, (and the sticker in the window £34,000 Shocked) At work
