    mate cabnit makers use something like that in kitchens and the like, try a cabnit maker or maybe bunnings, i know they have something similar at bunnings,
    If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 7
    minutes, a large pigeon with a wicked case of diahorrea will land on your
    head at 6 :00PM (EST) this afternoon. I know this will occur because it
    actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbour's ex-mother-in-law's
    second husband's cousin's beautician.

    every day, city driving.

    The screws are gal, so I thought that they would last for ever.

    On my vert on the rear plate, one of the fixing screws ends up half way onto one of the white characters, so I've carefully touched it up half white and half the plate colour, blends in very well Click here to enlarge

    No it wont Click here to enlarge

    If you use 'auto' touch up paint or other car duco, it'll last...

    In my case I've got plate covers on my cars, so wear n tear from the elements is minimal = last a long, long time Click here to enlarge

    The screws I've done on my Astra as I mentioned earlier are around 4 years old now and still look like new Click here to enlarge

    Attention to detail my friend, it's all about attention to detail Click here to enlarge

    That's what makes the difference between ordinary and extraordinary with alot of things in life... Click here to enlarge

    If you were to view a set of custom rego plates 'on a nice car' just 'slapped on' and then mine with colour coded screws and neat protective covers - which would you prefer or want to have for yourself ???
