So there is a lot of debate in the household regarding which of the two VRM's we should put on the Mustang

The two I have are
K C08RA M
And
CO13RA K

Both pay homage to the King Cobra Mustangs. I have me favourite I just want your opinion on what pops better and feels right for you guys as Mustang enthusiasts.

13=B especially if he puts a 'screw' between the middle of the 3 and the 1 ;)!

I'm another 'neither'. Sorry

Mis-spaced plates are just about the most chav thing in the entire universe. Cheapens the car horribly.

As above
Every time I see a plate illegally spaced to make it 'look' like its meant to say a word or name makes my cringe.

Plates that are correctly spaced and say something I love. suck as V8 RON for a guy called Ron but the rest I could leave.

Dont let us miserable arsehole's put you off though!

Thanks everyone for the input. I guess K C08RA M it is. I know miss spaced plates aren't to everyone's taste but there is literally no other iteration that can pay homage to the King Cobra Mustang. I really want to do it because the King Cobra was the first 5.0 branded car and it's the first time the 5.0 branded mustang (officially) has been brought to the UK market and its nearly its 40th anniversary! My parents weren't even teenagers back then but I love those old mustangs :)

I have a couple of awesome parts on the way from the states so will update things shortly and the rest of the parts will also be here from my aunts/uncles soon. I just need to purchase a gt350r style rear wing, a set of 25mm and 15mm eibach spacers and some eibach springs to complete the vanity updates and achieve the look I want for it. Then a H-Pipe to complete the exhaust set up and finally an oil separator.

Can't wait for this car to arrive. Thanks everyone for your input!

Hope the police turn a "blind eye" to miss spaced plates where you live. Down here in Devon I got pulled many years ago for having my plate just evenly spaced so it read CLA550N as apposed to CLA 550N (my surname is Classon). Copper may have been a bit over zealous but threatened to take plate away if I didn't change it asap plus big fine. I would not now risk it & as others have said, a lot of the time when I see a miss spaced plate, I can't work out what it is meant to say! That said, I think yours would look pretty cool! I think mine looks ok correctly spaced anyway.

That's unlucky. I see private plates with non conforming spacing's all the time in Nottingham. I currently have my name on my current car in the correct spacing but I'm going to try this and see what happens. I'll be sticking the plates on anyway so if I do run into an overzealous copper then ill just be like okay and swap them over there and then.

I have never been in trouble with the law ever. Not even a parking ticket so.... will see what happens.
