You dont need to take off your headlight to remove the light globe, there are two plugs at the back (high beam and low beam) twist about 1/4 circle and it comes out with the globe.
Yeah Al i heard that it is just stored in the odometer, if you change to lets say a nismo speedo it will go back to 0 or whatever it had if it was on a previous car.
Well when you put it that way if they can get the exact same font and everything then thats fine, but if they chuck in a space in between letters then it would be noticeable that it isn't real as cops see 100's or plates a day they will be able to tell ''hey why is there a space here''
K simple answer for you. It will look shit, cops will see, they will laugh. And you will be at vicroads putting up new plates.
Nick was just using the bending plates thing as an example of modifying your plates.
Welcome mate
First question i would ask is why a car with 50'000km would have a really worn out gear knob and a timing belt already changed.
Just be careful. Gets all the necessary checks done before you buy it.
