        img.save(f'{self.reg_number} back.png')
        destination_file = open(f'{self.reg_number} back.png', 'rb')
        self.image.save(f'{self.reg_number} back.png', File(destination_file), save=False)

        super(SmartRCBack, self).save(*args, **kwargs)


    def __str__(self):
        return f'{self.rto} {self.reg_number}'
