I personally think they look better with a black roof as brown looks weird.

According to the home page of the site it covers vehicles registered in Great Britain. So Scotland is apparently included. Can't imagine why you'd think Ireland might be included though, but Northern Ireland obviously isn't included as it isn't part of Great Britain.

Northern Ireland is not, and never has been, part of Great Britain. If you don't know that I suggest you brush up on your constitutional history.

Hint: it's the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland! Have a look at the cover of your passport.

Great Britain is the big island that includes England, Scotland and wales, it does not include any of the other islands, such as Ireland, the isle of Man, the Orkney islands etc etc



In fact, have an instructional video.

There is an idea, a political one, which I've only ever heard mentioned within my wife's family, or maybe by my wife talking about her family, who are all Irish. The idea is that some in the Island of Ireland think of that land-mass as West Britain. Has anybody else come across such an understanding.

BTW, the eye-catching gold and brown, is not to my taste but I can see why it would be to some.
