Re: Advise on which looks better please...
Here's an update on the progress of the middle licence plate bracket guys...
Coming along pretty well, made it out of a sheet of gal as I'm going to paint it black so it blends in with the tyre hopefully.
I've made it as part of my seat bracket also.
Indicators should be hear late next week so I'll update then

Re: Advise on which looks better please...
Looks good. I do have one thing to point out. The area that you cut out. Where the bend is. It would be better to make the inside corners with a radius. Less potential for cracking that way. When doing work like that I drill a hole, maybe 1/4", at each corner and then cut to that.
