I'm Richard Porter, I'm Johnny Smith, and this is Smith and Sniff, a podcast in which two friends talk about cars, and this week Johnny has a lard and neither confession.

Let me ask you a question. Do you want your car to look worse?

No, I mean I'm guessing no it's the obvious answer.

No, I mean do you want it to look, even though maybe it's brand new or nearly new, do you want it to look like absolute gash?

Hang on, is this a you, are you pretending to be a YouTuber?

What, what do you do?

I realize that does sound a bit.

I've just bought a new car and I've just realised that I don't like the colour or the spec that I've ordered it in.

So I'm going to completely change it, even though I spent ages asking you guys what it was going to be like.

No, the reason I'd say it's just, I just wondered, you know, perhaps if you wanted your car to look like an absolute low-volt pink cock, simply fit it with some gel plates.

Oh!

The instant an easy way to make your car look significantly worse.

Well, why do people bother with those fucking plates? They're terrible.

Yeah, the bubble, the bubble raised letter.

But not completely raised, it's like plates sort of from the 70s where there was some shaping to the letters.

Yes.

These are just facts, but raised letters.

Well, you see there's a, like you said, there's a class to a pressed metal plate of which I'm a big fan.

I have pressed metal plates on a lot of my cars, including I'm actually just ordering a pair for the chimney.

So, and I recommend a pair for your defender. I think that would be a good pressed metal plate victim.

Victim's probably not the right word.

Yeah, it's a good point. I mean, I sort of nerdishly, I quite like the fact that it's got its original dealer plates on it.
