if you are running around with just the Euro plate you definitely get pulled over. You can put the CA plate over it however since there isn't a law saying there can't be something behind the CA plate.

the dream of driving on Nurburgring can only be lived with a decal...sigh

great attention to detail 
at the brake dust comment. should I take off the wheel to clean it... 
hmm....the thing is connected to the lower suspension arm actually. it's the rear auto leveling sensor for the headlights.

it's so worth it every once in a while to take your wheels off and clean up everything. Pre-treat before rust develops. Look for leaks, check bushings, springs, and brake lines. Get rid of that thick caked-on brake dust, and generally just make it look nice for the photo-shots !

Tru that's what we were talking about. The Yaw sensor has been located finally in one of the other threads under the back seat so now you have the whole BiX set up. Front sensor, rear sensor, yaw sensor - microprocessor.

Plate looks like it's centered, Frank. Is it snug? Should sit against the europlate frame with very little give.

What's that in the back seat Frank?
I would have placed the sticker a little higher even with the Carlsson badge or on a corner of the rear/front window/windshild.

thought about having the letter part even with the carlsson badge, but the track map will get seperated by the line on the trunk, so i placed it lower.
