Front number plate mount removal

[dhobbs]

Are stick on ones (self adhesive types) ok and legal?
By that I mean the sticker types rather than normal plastic with double sided tape.


This is on my list of mods when time allows.

As long as they are reflective, have the name and postcode of where they were issued below the reg, and BS number in the right hand corner.

Just got back from MOT and I asked about stick on number plates and they said they are a NO NO.
Only legal on pre 1975.

whilst technically true, I think it's one of those grey area's where most police officers won't bother with you if you aren't/they aren't being an idiot.

I see plenty of mis-spaced reg plates, even some where the police car has been directly behind the vehicle with the dodgy plate, yet they don't seem to bother pulling them for it. I suppose they have more important things to be doing with their time.

A friend used to have a classic subarea impreza with a stick on front reg, situated on his bonnet. Never had problems with it. It's one of those 'do at your own risk' sort of things.

Take it off and fling it into the sun

Do you have trouble getting on ramps with your front lip and skirt extensions?
I thought about fitting some but I can only just get on ramps as it is, it is lowered.

you certainly would not get down my road at that height.

I changed back to stock suspension (not that different at the front actually) and it’s still an absolute nightmare. The only problem is the front splitter, it’s the lowest point in the car, and I have to come to a complete stop to get through most bumps.

I just can’t bring myself to remove the kit... it looks so good!

I've driven over a year with no front plate... ok yeah , its not legal but jus sayin

All depends on where you are what sort of person sees the car. I was driving in North London and got pulled for not having the separation space in the number plate. Guess I was unlucky and the guy was on a power trip...

Oh yea definatley. I live in a very rural area and have done about 800 miles in the last year so not exactly on the road much!
