Modified Noble?

[steadyrock]

Does anyone recognize this Noble M12 GTO 3r?



I spotted it on the earth yesterday.

I notice it has M400 rims on and seemed to be slightly different from a normal M12 GTO3r. It also had an extra badge on the bottom left of the rear, I never managed to read it in time. I may be wrong about all this though.

Oh and, as an aside, does anyone know the production figures of the different Noble models?

bet he will be really pleased you managed to post, a pic of his car on the internet along with where it was and the VRN.

some people.........

People get a bit nervy about just anyone plastering their number plate all over the internet, please paint it out before posting, or at least get the owners permission.
Apart from that, looks nice.

What is it with number plates and the internet ? You can see it on the car FFS.

When someone clones your plate and you get the speeding tickets and parking fines you will find out........

Do you take your number plates off when you drive it then incase someone sees the number and clones it then ?

[Biggriff]

I just do what is practical to reduce the risks. Noble's are less open to this than your normal'eurobox' as numbers are limited, but it does not pay to advertise these things.

It's more about someone knowing what area you and your car are in, if a certain person/persons, ( scum bag thief/thieves ), were reading all that was talked about and pics. posted on certain sites like this, then it just makes their job easier of relieving you of your pride and joy.
Don't forget, they spot you, follow you to your home, case the joint, then, well, you know the rest.
Just don't do it is the message.

So has anyone got any useful comments? If people are that bothered I will take off where it was spotted. I'm sure it was nowhere near their house. Keep you hairs on.

In addition, if someone was to clone these plats, they'd need to buy a rare car, and modify it(hence the thread trying to identify the individuality of the car). If that owner has a problem with it I will remove the picture.

It is wrong to post pics of somebody elses motor without blanking out the number plate...but I very much doubt that it will lead to the theft or cloning of a car.

Check out the thousands of posts in the various good number plate threads...I don't remember any complaints.

Have to agree... Never understood all the bother TBH..

Cloning? I doubt my Noble will ever be cloned, but if it is, then so what. I know whre i am and where i visit.

Theft from a locked garage, behind locked gates, with an alarm and tracker? I doubt that too.

It's hardly as though i drive around with the car covered, or disguised as a Fiesta... So the car is pretty well known around my way anyway.

All you have to do is look at most people's profiles to know what region they're in, or see you driving and follow you home. Or people talking about seeing it in town regularly or something and telling the wrong person. Or your neighbour could know someone dodgy that would relieve you of it. Could get very paranoid if you worried about all the possibilites.

Plus, to clone a plate successfully you'd need to put it on the same make and colour (bit difficult to do you for speeding or anything else when the car was a black Fiesta on the photo but is registered as a yellow Noble for example).

All I said was don't make it any easier for these scum-bags.
