Is it too duchey to use the Porsche plate holder, but with a non-standard plate?

I was just wondering what the cut-off was. Thanks.

I agree that the 986 interior is dated by today's standards and lacks durability by any standards. Check out this thread I started about how I'm trying to improve my 02 S in that area. Others have chimed in as well.

I am sorry if I offend you. I guess I could have been more gentle in my delivery.

I will say that there is one Porsche in my home town with a plate I like; it simply reads "nien 11". I thought that was clever...

No its all good mate, I ve had a few cars over the year and always go the forum associated with the car, some are terrible some are good. But the information you get is critical in keeping maintenance bills down, and pearls of wisdom for modifying!!
