Similarly when men put number plate stickers on their bonnet or bumper an get charged. The law states number "plate" specifically and dey dont give u any trouble if its the same sticker on a plate

The number plate thing was contested by a tuner years ago in court and he won

Hey, do you all know who does the painting for the MGW signs for Toyota?

Who ever it is, failure with them yes.

New new vehicles people spend their hard earned money on and so many vehicles with overly oversized lettering and poorly applied. Many vehicles are getting overspray on the body of the vehicle and the mudguards etc.

If you get through, tell them i say they are a waste and an annoyance in society.

Idk why vinyl not allowed so much cleaner than faking drunk painters have

Even self vinyl with automotive clear coat is not allowed

The inspection garage they went by dig till they removed the clear coat and peel vinyl to tell them "it needs to painted on"

To me which is way less durable than vinyl with clear

Apparently with the vinyl stickers they say you can tamper with the weights or something so. It have men driving around with MGW under the actual weight of the vehicle to allow them to drive it with class 3 permits

This is a fact

I know a youthman with a class 4 hiace (father's business vehicle) who dropped the MGW to class 3 so he can drive it.
