So I finally got some new tires to replace the now bald rears. Oh, and I bought some different wheels... Shitty picture, but you get the idea.

Thanks for the compliments guys! So far so good with the plate. I think it's a reasonable compromise until I get a new bumper.

Just curious, what's up with the license plate sticker?
I'm trying to look it up, but can't find anything relevant to it.

Is it legal to have it instead of actual plates, or is it only for temporary use?

I made mine because the bracket at the front of the car is huge & ugly. I would put it down in the grill area, but I have two rather large holes, and the paint behind the bracket is worn away. This almost hides that, but hey it's version 1. In BC you must clearly display the original metal license plate issued by ICBC and it can not be modified in any way.

I've seen numerous front plates bent so just the letters and numbers are showing.

Oh, there's no question that it happens all the time. It's just not to the exact letter of the law.

Wow! Work Meisters S1s?! Did you get them brand new? I don't usually like color-matched wheels, but on your MR2, it really pulls off the look! What's the fitment specs??
I miss Canada.. :(

They are used, I got them from DB8 on mr2oc.com. I thought the white on white had a chance of looking good. I tried googling white on white S1's on an MR2 and I couldn't find a single pic, so it was a bit of a gamble.

Wheel spec's:

17x8 +40
17x9 +42

The offsets are just off the top of my head, so they might be a little off, but I know I'm close.
