- oh and to get back on topic -
YES Magnetic plates do fuck your paint job! ! ! ! !
im a car detailer, and know my car paint [aka "DuCo"]
and the fine layer of dirt on your car when pushed into your paint will scratch it - really small hair thickness scratches, which all stoges will say "aww it doesnt matter-"
but it does, after a couple years these scratches build up and look like shit.
thats why old men like your dad or grandfather or uncle or neighbor or like me actually "Polish"
their pride and joy to hide these scratches.
Polishing does not actually mean buying car wash that you put on with a sponge that says "wash 'n' wax"
so - putting the magnetic platyes on and off pushes all these dirt particles into the top layer of paint and accumulates scratches.
i think - because our main family car is so prized by me and dad, that we polish the shit out of it all the time and even had our project car sprayed with Ferrari paint [not the ferrari in my avatar mind you] - which i dont want to be ruined because of THESE BULLSHIT LAWS. a normal p plate wont fit on becasue the numberplate is set in the boot lid, in a depression in the metal, and slipping a plastic plate ruins the paint.
i probably will not display p plates,
and if you drive half decently,
probably wont get pulled over because we all know the cops will only pull you over if:
1) your speeding or suspicious.
or
2) your a male p plater doing the speed limit.
so if you just look like every other fuker on the road, and drive the speed of everyone else - there not going to pull you over . . . right?
