Its a big hello from me

Post by Serkta » Fri Mar 31, 2023 5:20 pm

Good evening, thank you admins for accepting me to the forum. I have moved from Audi (happy TTRS owner for many years) but the kids are older and driving now so moving to Ariel can be a reality and I am hoping to be a proud owner next week (if all stars align).

Clearly, I need to sort insurance and have gone to 2 (MCN & REIS (mainly as I am a stones throw from Goodwood and may want to do a track day or two)). I have spoken to the excellent Dave who was very helpful but I am waiting for the REIS quote so I have at least one comparison.

What is the current temperature for forum members in terms of other providers and the service you get and obviously price!

I will be changing the plate and have had a search for adhesive front plate, with no luck. Where do fellow forum members get theirs?

I am looking forward to getting stuck in :)

Many thanks, Raife

Hi Raife,

Classic line are one of the cheapest for insurance try them also, are you getting a atom 4? As we have a whats app group with 80+ members from all over the world (mainly uk) that you could be added to.

Most people don't have front plates and i think the factory will make you one, or try ebay etc for self adhesive number plates.

Classicline have always been brilliant for me. They include free trackdays for club organised days. Any other track day is around £60 to cover.

Definitely speak to Ariel about the plate. Again they are easy to deal with and won’t charge a lot for the plate. From memory they even sent instructions on how to fit it in the correct ‘factory’ position.

The other option for the front is the official license plate holder but I don't know if they are useful for plates of a regular size, though it depends on your car's setup etc.

Thank you for the tip on Classicline they were super competitive and being a stones throw from Goodwood I will have no extra insurance to pay for if I dabble in a track day.

What I am after is a self adhesive front number plate. My new plate is relatively short RXX XXX so may look to do it on 2 lines but not sure on the aesthetics.

The helpful proplates link doesn't make it clear if they do that or if they only do one line. Any pointers?

What atom did you end up getting?

Any pictures.

There are plenty of "number plate builders online, search show number plates and you can design them with a preview etc.

Hi, a 2009 Atom 3 (black and red). I can't work out how to add a photo!

Cheers, Raife
