When I bought new cars from main
dealers, the first job after getting home was the sermony of removing the sticky free advertising that they had fitted to the back window before the sun baked the adhesive solid! Oh and these naff
dealer lumpy logos that were used for a while. Both my current cars are imports so I've got plain plates, but some people that imported cars did go to the extreme of getting plates made up by their local place that they could have bought their cars from, as a sort of way of making them look "right"!!
